AirTanker is the private sector partnership of leading aerospace companies that includes Airbus Group, Cobham, Rolls Royce, Thales and Babcock, appointed in 2008 to deliver RAF Voyager, the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) contract, a 27 year service that is delivering a step-change in the RAF’s operational capability.
Supplying 14 Airbus MRTT/A330-200 aircraft under the contract, AirTanker provides a commercial guarantee of aircraft availability, assuming all responsibility for maintenance. Aircraft remain owned by AirTanker and are made available by it to the RAF on a commercial basis.
Including the infrastructure, service and support, which underpins RAF Voyager’s, safe, efficient and reliable operation by the RAF, we are able to offer the UK military and its partners access to one of the most technically advanced and flexible global military air transport solutions.
