A400M Aircraft to Boost Armed Forces Capability, Says Najib(Source: Bernama news agency; published Dec. 8, 2005)
(Copyright Bernama news agency; reproduced by permission)
LANGKAW, Malaysia --- Malaysia Thursday signed an agreement with Airbus Military to procure four A400M aircraft worth RM2.8 billion in efforts to beef up the defence forces' capabilities.
Deputy Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak said the new aircraft would replace in stages the ageing fleet of its C130 transport aircraft currently in service.
He told this to reporters after witnessing the signing ceremony at the Mahsuri International Exhibition and Convention Centre (MIEC) in conjunction with the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) 2005 here. He said two of the aircraft would be delivered on 2013 while the rest on 2014.
"The government decided to purchase the aircraft as we need aircraft with the latest technology and with high capability to replace the C130," he said. Najib, who is also the Defence Minister said, the C130 would continue its role until it is no longer economical to operate the aircraft.
Through the purchase of A400M, Malaysia is to benefit from the aircraft development whereby a Malaysian firm, Composites Technology Research Malaysia Sdn Bhd (CTRM), would undertake two development programmes worth RM907 in manufacturing composite components.
He said, Malaysia would also receive additional programmes worth RM800 million if there is more orders for the aircraft from all over the world.
"Based on additional orders for 196 aircraft of that type from all over the world, we are expected to receive additional work worth RM800 million," he said.
CTRM was established in November 1990 by Minister of Finance Malaysia Inc in line with the government's aspiration to start manufacturing composite parts for the aerospace industry.
After looking at the advantages and the opportunity to expand the nation's "aerospace" industry, the government made the decision to buy the four aircraft, said Najib.
"The procurement must be seen as a package, not only to fulfill the armed forces' needs but also as an effort to expand the nation's aerospace industry," he said.
Najib also witnessed the signing of several more contracts for the supply and delivery of military equipment between Malaysia and the respective suppliers, among others Selex Sistemi Integrati, Sapura Thales Electronics and Sapura Defense Sdn Bhd.
Apart from that, Najib also witnessed the delivery of an Agusta A109 Light Observation Helicopter by AgustaWestland for the army at the MIEC ground. (ends)

Malaysia joins A400M programme
The Malaysian government has today signed a contract for the purchase from Airbus Military of four A400M military airlifters.
The contract, signed in Langkawi by Malaysia抯 Secretary General for Defence, Tan Sri Subhan Jasmon brings the number of firm orders for A400M to 192 aircraft.
The Malaysian decision further confirms the confidence placed in the A400M programme from countries outside the existing group of seven European launch nations.
The agreement provides for Malaysia to become a programme partner in the A400M. To this effect, Malaysian industry will receive high-technology work packages, worth initially one billion Ringgits, (about 200 million Euros), considerably enhancing Malaysian aerospace technology and capabilities. Malaysian contractors will initially design, and then manufacture airframe components for all A400M aircraft to be delivered worldwide. Thus Malaysia becomes another key participant throughout the life of the programme that is anticipated to thrive for at least fifty years, bringing work to Malaysia worth well over two billion Ringgits, (400 million Euros).
"Malaysia is a valued and long-standing customer for Airbus civil aircraft," said Francisco Fern醤dez-S醝nz, Managing Director of Airbus Military "The A400M decision has opened up major new opportunities for partnership in the military sector and will substantially enhance the enduring relationship with the Malaysian Government and industry."
The A400M will enable the Royal Malaysian Air Force to upgrade its airlift capability for both humanitarian and peace-keeping activities.
The A400M, 180 examples of which were ordered in May 2003 by seven European NATO nations, with a further eight ordered by South Africa in April 2005, will first fly in 2008 with deliveries beginning in 2009.
The first Malaysian aircraft will be delivered to the Air Force in 2013 pesawat tanker kita pun mungkin dr jenis airbus kot.
tak lama lagi jadi hub airbus la malaysia ni. airasia dah guna airbus, pengguna terbesar airbus setakat ni, tp pusat airbus masih tak dibuka kat malaysia lagi ke?
Reply #6 hyazinth79's post
cam,no airbus mau buat hub kat sini. takde sapa pon mau blackmail depa untuk buat camtuh.lagipon airasia tu syarikat Berhad, bukan GLC. Cuba kalo MAS beli airbus secara pukal, musti ada klausa "airbus harus bina hub airbus untukrantau asia tenggara kat Malaysia."
wa tengok kita bab planning ke hadapan masihlah tersangat kurangnya. cuba tengok Singapore, habis semua disapunya. tak percaya? siasat sendirik laaa...
satu lagi, bila syarikat luar ambik inisiatif buna hub penyelenggaraan, gomen tak kasik atau lambat kasik komitmen. klu tak silap aku airbus akan bantu air asia buka pusat latih juruterbang dia kat sepang, lg pun aku rasa mas pun akan pilih airbus jugak nanti utk tempahan 55 pesawat baru tu.
