The military transport A400M has been beset with delays and budget overruns but came into service in 2013 and about 12 planes are flying with various air forces. The A400M is capable of carrying 37 tonnes of cargo over 3000 kilometres and is destined to be bought by several European air forces, including the RAF.
A crash in Spain this weekend of a plane under test has thrown some doubts on the reliability of the transport. The aeroplanes are constructed in Seville and the test flight was probably manned by Airbus personnel, 4 of whom were killed.
