Germany and Norway order A330 MRTTs

The Netherlands-based Multinational Multi-Role Fleet (MMF) is due to expand after Germany and Norway ordered five Airbus A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transports (MRTTs), the signing ceremony taking place on 25 September. The five MRTTs join the previous two aircraft ordered by the Netherlands and Luxembourg, all of which will be operated under a pooling arrangement. The amendment includes options for up to four additional aircraft, potentially increasing the MMF fleet to 11 aircraft. More nations are expected to join the MMF in the future.
