Air Recognition is in Maerskbroek Air Base, the base of the 15th Air Transport Wing of
0:20
the Belgian Air Component. We are attending the arrival of the first A400M Atlas that will equip the binational
0:29
unit where the Luxembourg Armed Forces and the Belgian Air Component will together operate
0:34
Airbus A400Ms. This is the first one and the Belgian one, the seventh Belgian Airbus, will start to
0:41
arrive from mid-November. With this delivery, Luxembourg becomes the seventh A400M operator, the first of seven
0:51
A400Ms to be operated by the Belgian Air Component is expected to be delivered in mid-November
0:59
The A400M arrived on 9th October in Maerskbroek and it will be operated by the Luxembourg
1:06
Armed Forces and Belgium within a binational unit along with the seven A400Ms ordered by Belgium

Hi, my name is Ben, I'm a pilot on the A400M, I'm a member of the Luxembourg Armed Forces
1:24
and I'm the deputy commander of our binational squadron here at the 15th Wing, so the 20th squadron
1:30
So first, we came from Luxembourg today where we had the first ceremony of the aircraft
1:35
yesterday in Luxembourg. For Luxembourg it's the first aircraft since more than 40 years that Luxembourg has an aircraft
1:45
Here in Belgium it will be a new aircraft, it will replace the old fleet, but I think
1:50
that this aircraft will now be the milestone for a new era here in the 15th Wing
1:59
We have already been working in a binational mindset because I've already been working
2:05
here for five or others for eight years, but now I think this day will really be the start
2:12
of a real binational unit. Alberto Gutierrez, head of military aircraft at Airbus Defence and Space, said, I welcome
2:22
Luxembourg to the growing A400M user community. With 94 aircraft in service, the A400M is increasingly becoming the air mobility backbone
2:33
of our customers, both in civil and military environments, as seen in recent COVID-19 crisis
2:40
transmission around the globe
