Egypt: The Newest C-130J-30 Operator

The worldwide Super Hercules fleet is growing with the news that Egypt will acquire two C-130J-30 tactical airlifters. This announcement was shared by the Egyptian Armed Forces on Sept. 5 at the Egypt International Air Show in El Alamein.

The Details

Lockheed Martin will deliver two C-130J-30 s the Egyptian Air Force through a Foreign Military Sale with the U.S. Air Force. Egypt is the 23rd nation to join the worldwide Super Hercules operating community.

As the most advanced and proven tactical airlifter in the world, the C-130J-30 delivers enhanced capability, additional versatility and increased power to EAF crews.

 

A Strong History

Egypt operates one of the world’s largest C-130H fleets, which has a significant presence in the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region, supporting military, peacekeeping, humanitarian and natural disaster response mission requirements. Egypt joins seven MENA operators that have chosen the C-130J as a preferred medium-sized tactical airlifter and tanker.

 

National Asset, Regional Reach, Global Power

“Egypt is a distinguished C-130 operator, flying its Hercules fleet to support some of the most challenging mission requirements,” said Rod McLean, vice president and general manager of Lockheed Martin’s Air Mobility & Maritime Missions line of business. “With these new C-130J-30s, the Egyptian Air Force’s tactical airlift presence will deliver unmatched capabilities and aligned force amplification to serve Egypt, North Africa and the world.”
