A400M Aircraft: Procurement

Question

To ask Her Majesty's Government how many A400M aircraft which were originally intended for the German Luftwaffe have been or will be accepted into RAF service; and what were the cost savings to the UK.

Answer

The RAF has not received any A400M aircraft originally intended for service in the German Luftwaffe. As part of the normal programme planning process, a former German production slot for an unbuilt aircraft has been exchanged for a UK production slot, but there are no cost savings associated with this change.
