On October 29, 2025, Airbus Defense and Space delivered its second A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft to the Spanish Air and Space Force, enhancing Spain’s air mobility and strategic reach. This delivery follows the first aircraft’s arrival in April 2025, part of a modernization effort initiated in 2021 to convert three former Iberia passenger planes into advanced MRTTs. These versatile aircraft, capable of troop transport, cargo, and medical evacuation, bolster Spain’s defense capabilities amid evolving regional security challenges, especially in crisis scenarios like the COVID-19 pandemic. The continued delivery of these assets supports Madrid’s commitment to strengthening military logistics and interoperability with allies, reflecting a significant enhancement of Spain’s global military presence.
