In 2016, Airbus Defence and Space delivered 18 A400M transport aircraft to customers from the European partner nations and Malaysia. This represents about half of the total fleet in service, and despite recent technical setbacks production is now ramping up quickly. As well as the production ramp-up, additional capabilities are being rolled out to the global fleet as testing and certification processes are completed. This is evidenced by hardware and software retrofit activities that are expanding the A400M's capabilities from the strategic transport role, as initially delivered, into the tactical arena.
