Queensland Residents draws to the attention of the House The Royal Australian Air Force has a capability gap in heavy tactical airlift. With only 8 Boeing C-17A Globemasters and production ended, the RAAF urgently needs more heavy lift capability. The Airbus A400M is a current build, modern and capable aircraft. A fleet of 4-8 aircraft would greatly enhance the RAAF capabilities and enable a wider ability to respond to disaster and humanitarian emergencies. A perfect example being the current crisis in New Caledonia, the French Air Force have operated many A400 flights in and out of the country, however the RAAF is limited to using the smaller and less capable C-130J Hercules. With the modern world constantly changing and potential threats moving closer to home, Australia needs more heavy lift capability to ensure the safety of our nation.

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to We therefore ask the House to urgently consider purchasing Airbus A400M aircraft
