The Ministry of National Defense of Lithuania announced today that the Embraer C-390 Millennium has been selected as the country's next-generation military transport aircraft.
This strategic decision, which paves the way for the acquisition of three C-390s, marks a significant step in enhancing Lithuania's operational readiness and interoperability with other NATO members.
"We have carefully studied the various types of military transport aircraft available on the market, and our assessment has clearly shown that the C-390 Millennium is the most suitable platform to meet our national military operational requirements. Therefore, Lithuania has chosen Embraer Company for further negotiations and expects to finalize the acquisition contract in the coming months," said Loreta Maskaliovienė Vice Minister of National Defence of Lithuania.
"We are honored to have been selected by the Lithuanian authorities. This selection reflects Embraer's commitment to strengthening defense capabilities in Europe. In this regard, the C-390, with its versatility, performance, and NATO interoperability, is the ideal platform — readily available to carry out the most demanding missions," said Bosco Da Costa Junior, President & CEO of Embraer Defense & Security.
This selection aligns Lithuania with a growing number of European and NATO allies, including Portugal, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, Sweden and Slovakia, who have also selected the C-390 to modernise their air forces. By adopting the C-390 Millennium, Lithuania will significantly enhance its operational capabilities, while benefiting from the ecosystem and synergies present in Europe in terms of support and training.
