摘要

Airbus Defence and Space and India's Tata Advanced Systems (TASL) have submitted a joint bid to replace the Indian Air Force's fleet of Avro 748 transport aircraft with 56 C295s. Shortly after the announcement on October 28, media reports indicated Alenia Aermacchi would not tender with the C-27J Spartan, leaving the C295 as the only contender for the IAF requirement.
