About this report
The NATO Support and Procurement Agency’s decision to order two additional Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) aircraft marks a significant reinforcement of European air-to-air refuelling capacity.
With this acquisition, the Multinational MRTT Fleet (MMF) expands from 10 to 12 aircraft, to be delivered in 2028 and 2029, and welcomes two new member states—Denmark and Sweden—into its operational framework. This development extends the scope of the MMF initiative, which has become a central pillar of NATO’s strategy to increase interoperability, resource pooling, and cost-efficiency in strategic air mobility.
