Within the scope of the A400M Program, Turkey declared that 10 aircraft would be procured for the TurAF and signed a contract valued at €1.496 Billion in 2003 to this end. Project amount was disclosed as €1.496 Billion in the Activity Reports of 2009 and 2010 published by the SSB and stated as €1.332 Billion in the Activity Reports regarding the years 2011 and 2013. Each A400M Atlas Strategic Transport Aircraft’s costs €125 Million to Turkey.

With A400M Atlas Strategic Transport Aircraft TurAF is able to fly directly from the 12th Air Transport Main Base Command in Kayseri, turkey to the U.S. The 8.700km distance is a regular route for the TurAF, that performs one or two flights per month to carry spare parts or the equipment that need to be repaired in the U.S.

The 8th and 9th A400Ms have been delivered with the latest standard, including tactical capabilities. The delivery of the 10th and the last A400M for the TurAF will take place in 2022. According to Mr. José Luis de Miguel CORTÉS, Airbus Defence and Space Vice President & Head of Product Marketing, the TurAF A400M fleet availability rates are among the highest of the A400M user nations.

The A400M C-Level Overhaul service is being carried out at Aircraft Depot Level Maintenance & Repair (DLM&R) facilities of the 2nd AMFD. In this context, the A400M C-Level Overhaul Capacity Achievement Ceremony was held on February 22, 2018 at 12th Air Transport Main Base Command in Kayseri with the participation of the then MoND Nurettin CANIKLI as well as TuAF and AMTR representatives. Thanks to this capability it was ensured that an average of 900.000 Euro, flowing abroad previously for each aircraft (for C-Level Overhaul), has remained in the national budget. In addition to this, the operational efficiency of TurAF A400Ms have been increased upon completion of the overhaul and repair processes in a period shorter than 2 months per aircraft, which is far lesser than the average 6 months period abroad.

At the same time, a binding engine standard with improved propeller gears and improved torque sensors was defined. All A400Ms that will be delivered from July 2022 should have engines with this standard ex works. Since early 2017 the TP400-D6 engines with truncated plug solution has been installed on all new-built aircraft, which are being delivered under configuration level ‘Batch 4’. Simultanenously the planned permanent propeller gearbox (PGB) fix, called Pack-II has been developed and certified by EASA. Deliveries of Pack-II series of modifications to the TP400-D6 engine’s Avio Aero-supplied PGB have begun in 2019, prioritizing in-service aircraft. The Pack-II update mainly consits of modifications to remove a resonance and therefore reinfore endurance and reliability of the permanent propeller gearbox (PGB).
