Since entering service with the Brazilian Air Force in 2019, the Portuguese Air Force in 2023 and, most recently the Hungarian Air Force in 2024, the KC-390 "Millennium" multi-mission military aircraft has proven its capability, reliability and performance.

To date, the model has been contracted by Brazil, Portugal, Hungary, South Korea, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic, and an undisclosed customer.
With over 290 orders from 20 Air Forces and more than 580,000 flight hours, including 60,000 in combat, the A-29 Super Tucano is the global reference in its category. This advanced aircraft provides a wide range of missions such as close air support, air patrol, special operations, air interdiction, JTAC, forward air controller (FAC), air and tactical coordinator (TAC), Armed ISR, border surveillance, reconnaissance, air escort, basic, operational and advanced training, transition to air superiority fighters, JTAC/LIFT and FAC training.
