The Lithuanian Republic’s Armed Force and Alenia Aeronautica have signed today a €75 million contract for the supply of three units of the new-generation tactical transport aircraft C-27J.

The selection has been made within a bid for the renewal of the current fleet of Soviet-made twinengine An-26s in service with the Lithuanian Air Force.
The C-27Js will be used for troops and cargo transport, in and out of the national boundaries, within the operational scenarios ruled by NATO, of which Lithuania has been member from 2004.

The delivery of the first C-27J is planned for the end of 2006 while the next ones will be supplied in the 2008 / 2009.
