4 September, 2018: The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has taken delivery of its first Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT). The aircraft made its first official public appearance at the RSAF’s 50th anniversary parade.
The new-generation A330 MRTT extends the endurance of the RSAF’s fighter aircraft, and ensures the service’s constant capability to provide air-to-air refuelling support.
It also provides the RSAF with greater cargo and passenger transport capabilities, and improves its ability to contribute to international humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) and peace support operations.
