# Greece Acquires Three KC-390 Airlifters

Greece authorized the acquisition of three Embraer KC-390 Millennium transport aircraft for the Hellenic Air Force on October 22, 2026, through Portugal’s government-to-government procurement framework. The **€590 million package, excluding VAT**, covers the aircraft and initial logistics, electronic warfare systems, training, maintenance, and program management. No open solicitation is identified, but the bundled support scope points to potential downstream sustainment and related service needs for contractors with relevant capabilities.

- The package includes €533 million for the aircraft and initial logistical support, and €57 million for electronic warfare systems, training, maintenance, and program management.
- Companies providing aircraft support, training, electronic warfare integration, or maintenance may find relevant opportunities as the program moves into implementation; the signal does not identify an active bid opportunity.
- The acquisition illustrates the use of a government-to-government framework for a defense aircraft procurement, with Portugal serving as the procurement channel and Embraer as the aircraft supplier.
