• Indonesia received its second Airbus A400M military transport aircraft.
• The aircraft, A-4002, landed at Halim Perdanakusuma Air Base in Jakarta on March 28, 2026.
• The delivery route was altered due to escalating conflict in the Middle East.
• The A400M can carry up to 37 tonnes and fly 2,400 nautical miles with a 30-tonne payload.
• The aircraft has hose-and-drogue aerial refueling pods, expanding the Indonesian Air Force's tanker role.

The completion of the two-aircraft order may indicate Indonesia's continued interest in expanding its military capabilities, particularly in the tanker role. The A400M's ability to operate from short and unpaved runways may also be seen as a strategic asset for the Indonesian Air Force, given the country's archipelago geography. The potential integration of Airbus's modular firefighting kit could further enhance the aircraft's capabilities, particularly in addressing recurring wildfires across the country.
