The Airbus A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport (MRTT) is the new generation strategic tanker aircraft of choice for the world's leading air forces. The A330 MRTT is the most capable and combat-proven tanker available today, providing unmatched flexibility in air-to-air refuelling (AAR), VIP, personnel and cargo transport, and aeromedical evacuation (MedEvac) missions. Based on the highly successful A330 widebody airliner, the A330 MRTT Family includes the A330 MRTT+ based on the A330neo, the newest version of the A330. https://www.airbus.com/en/products-se... The Multinational MRTT Fleet (MMF) stands out as a unique example of effective cooperation between NATO and the European Union in delivering critical capabilities. Initiated by the European Defence Agency (EDA) as an initiative to address the longstanding shortfall in European air-to-air refueling capacity in 2012, the MMF has grown to a mature programme, that provides its six participating nations (Belgium, Czech Republic, Germany, Luxembourg, The Netherlands and Norway) with air-to-air refueling, air transport and strategic medical evacuation capabilities. The fleet is owned by NATO and managed by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA). The fleet is operated by the Multinational MRTT Unit (MMU), from the Main Operating Base in Eindhoven (The Netherlands) and the Forward Operating Base in Cologne (Germany). 10 MRTT aircraft have been ordered to date. 9 aircraft were delivered between 2020-2025, with the 10th planned for delivery in 2026. NSPA is the lead organisation for multinational acquisition, support and sustainment to NATO, its 32 Nations and Partners. The MMF is based on a pooling and sharing concept, laid down in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) where participating nations get access to state-of-the-art aircraft through a multinational cost-sharing arrangement.
