Airbus Delivers Three-Aircraft Order to Enhance Angola's Maritime Security
Airbus Defence and Space has delivered two C295 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA) to Angola, completing the country’s three-aircraft order. The new aircraft will support search and rescue operations, combat illegal fishing, strengthen border control, and assist in maritime traffic monitoring and intelligence-gathering missions for the Angolan Air Force. According to Airbus, the C295 MSA fleet will enable extended surveillance coverage along Angola’s 1,600-kilometer Atlantic coastline, bolstering inter-agency efforts alongside the navy and coast guard. With a growing list of African operators using the C295, Airbus is reinforcing its position as the leading light transport and surveillance aircraft in the region.
