Embraer completes C-390 Millennium deliveries to the Hungarian Air Force
Budapest, Hungary, November 21, 2025 – Embraer (NYSE: EMBJ; B3: EMBJ3) delivered today the second C-390 Millennium multi-mission aircraft to the Hungarian Air Force in a ceremony at Kecskemét Air Base with the presence of the Minister of Defence of Hungary, Mr. Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky, along with other authorities and Embraer executives.
Since its entry into service in late 2024, the first Hungarian aircraft has performed a wide variety of missions at a completion rate above 99%. With the delivery of its second aircraft, Hungary becomes the first C-390 operator to receive all contracted aircraft.
“This is a truly uplifting and joyful moment, an incredibly important event in the development of the Hungarian Air Force. And I can say with certainty that the Hungarian people have become richer and stronger as a result. This type of transport capability was lacking in the Hungarian Air Force’s arsenal, but now it is available. Thank you very much to everyone who contributed to this process”, said Kristóf Szalay-Bobrovniczky, minister of defense of Hungary.
“This is a significant milestone for Embraer as we deliver the second C-390 Millennium to the Hungarian Air Force. This aircraft will further enhance Hungary’s capabilities by providing superior operational performance, greater flexibility, and reduced life-cycle costs,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President and CEO of Embraer Defense & Security. “As partners, we look forward to expanding our cooperation to support the Hungarian Air Force in all its current and future operational needs.”
These next-generation aircraft will perform a wide range of military and civilian missions, including medical evacuation, humanitarian support, search and rescue, cargo and troop transport, precision cargo airdrops, paratrooper operations, and air-to-air refueling. The Hungarian C-390s are the first in the world to feature a modular roll-on/roll-off medical Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
