Embraer to participate in Aero India 2025 with multi-mission transport aircraft KC-390 Millennium

Embraer will showcase its KC-390 Millennium tactical air transport aircraft and solutions spanning its defense portfolio at the Aero India 2025 in Bengaluru from 10 to 14 February 2025.

"Embraer is excited to be back at AeroIndia as we showcase the KC-390 Millennium and our broad portfolio of defense and security solutions to the industry,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO, Embraer Defense & Security. “It is an aircraft that is growing its global operator base and impressing the industry with its modern capabilities and reflects the versatility and reliability that our aircraft are known for. The Embraer team and its partners will be at AeroIndia in full force, in support of India’s aviation and defense aims".

Embraer will showcase the exceptional versatility and performance of the KC-390. The aircraft has proven its capability, reliability, and performance across a variety of missions. By carrying more payload (26 tons) compared to other medium-sized military transport aircraft at a faster speed (470 knots) and over a longer distance, the KC-390, which is configured with air-to-air refueling equipment, supports a wide range of critical missions including transporting and dropping cargo and troops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting, and humanitarian missions, operating on temporary or unpaved runways such as packed earth, soil, and gravel. It has proven its aerial refueling capacity both as a tanker and as a receiver, in this case by receiving fuel from another KC-390 using pods installed under the wings.
