Former Eastern Bloc countries have proved to be lucrative markets for Alenia Aeronautica's C-27J sales force with orders received from Lithuania, as illustrated here, Bulgaria and Romania.

One of the main differences between the C-27J and its predecessor, the G222, is the glass cockpit in the newer aircraft. This is the same as in the C-130J and was one of the results of the tie-up with Lockheed Martin, a relationship that has now been severed.
