Alenia delivers first C-27J to Lithuania


C-27 Spartan

Alenia Aeronautica has delivered to the Lithuanian Air Force the first of the three C-27J aircrafts ordered by that Baltic State and intended for tactical transport.

The 75 million euro contract concerning this order was signed last June. An official statement informed that the C-27J aircrafts will be used to transport troops and materials, both in Lithuania and abroad, in the framework of military operations regulated by specific NATO deals.
