Multinational Organisations Demonstrate Support for the Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling Conference 2022

A plethora of multinational organisations will be speaking at the Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling Conference in Florence, Italy, in November 2022.

FLORENCE, ITALY, UNITED KINGDOM, August 24, 2022 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Joint cooperation between NATO allies is more critical than ever after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, leaving the 30-nation Western military alliance galvanised, prompting major spending hikes.
Progress is being made regarding a key requirement for member states to spend a minimum of 2% of their GDP on defence.

Pooling and sharing arrangements account for part of this spending, including three Boeing C-17s used by the Strategic Airlift Consortium of NATO and Partnership for Peace members from Papa air base in Hungary.

In addition, five Airbus Defence & Space A330 multirole tanker transports (MRTTs) have so far entered use with the NATO Multinational MRTT Fleet organisation at Eindhoven air base in the Netherlands. This is due to grow to at least nine of the type but could expand further if additional nations join the initiative, which so far involves Belgium, the Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, and Norway. *

More multinational organisations are represented than ever at the Military Airlift and Air-to-Air Refuelling Conference, taking place on 29th and 30th November 2022 in Florence, Italy, which is a demonstration of the significance of interoperability and partnerships.
