# Greece Acquires KC-390 Fleet

Greece has finalized a government-to-government agreement arranged with Portugal to acquire three Embraer KC-390 Millennium military transport aircraft, with an option for three more. First deliveries are planned for 2027. One report puts the initial aircraft and follow-on support at approximately €600 million ($672 million), while another says the contract value was not disclosed; the amount should therefore be treated as a reported estimate. The purchase may generate opportunities in training, operational support, and sustainment for companies serving Greek and Portuguese defense organizations.

- The initial purchase covers three aircraft, with options for three additional aircraft; companies should distinguish the option quantity from the firm order when assessing potential demand.
- Suppliers of training, operational support, and sustainment services can assess how their capabilities align with the planned 2027 deliveries and the two countries’ defense organizations.
- Embraer’s reported production-localization offer in Poland and potential cruise-missile integration could influence competition in future European military airlift programs, but neither is identified as a requirement of Greece’s purchase.
