More Details of the PAF’s new G280 and C295 C2 Aircraft

Department of National Defense (DND) Spokesperson Arsenio Andolong provided some updates on the Philippine Air Force’s (PAF) Command and Control (C2) Aircraft:

* The C295 is set for delivery this year (2019) while the Gulfstream G280 is set for delivery in August 2020.

* The Contract for the C295 is worth Php 1.8 billion (Usd 34.6 million). The Notice to Proceed (NTP) for it was released in October 2018.

* The Contract for the G280 was signed in November 2018 and is worth Php 1.9 billion (Usd 37 million).

* The G280 flies faster than the C295 and will be used as a platform to carry the Philippines’ main leaders in case of crisis situations.

I actually expected the G280 to be delivered in May 2020 before since that will be the start of the Contract of the Logistical Support of the aircraft, but instead it will be delivered three months later than that. Anyway, still good to see these new assets for the PAF.
