Airbus Military's company-owned C295 takes off from Seville-San Pablo on June 7, 2011. The aircraft mounts a mock-up rotodome.

Along with several other nations in Latin America, Brazil has been a major C295 customer. The country has eleven C295 examples for general freighter missions, as well as search and rescue.

The large internal volume of the C295 provides inherent flexibility in the design. Airbus Military has developed the baseline aircraft into the C295 Persuader maritime patrol platform.

Portugal is one of several C295 operators around the world. The country is receiving a number of these airframes to fulfill the transport and maritime patrol roles.
