Brazil Promotes KC-390 Millennium at Expodefensa 2025, Highlighting 26-Ton Capacity While Seeking to Attract Latin American Air Forces and Maintain Colombia’s Interest in Acquiring Two Units

The participation of KC-390 in Expodefensa 2025 reinforces Brazil’s strategy to position the aircraft as a regional alternative for modernizing military air mobility, supported by the campaign led by Embraer Defense and Security.

Colombia’s interest remains active, as President Gustavo Petro evaluates starting a process for the purchase of two aircraft.

Attention to the model has grown since its debut at F-AIR 2023 and was reinforced by the aircraft’s return at F-AIR 2025.

The current interest is based on 2023, when the then Minister of Defense of Brazil mentioned Colombia as a potential user of the KC-390, generating expectations about future negotiations. However, so far there is no official signal of advancement from the Colombian government.

Capabilities and Mission of the Aircraft

The KC-390 offers a payload of up to 26 tons, speed superior to traditional turboprop aircraft, and modern avionics. The platform performs tactical and strategic missions, such as airborne deployment, medical evacuation, aerial refueling, troop transport, and humanitarian support.

The model is already operated by Brazil, Portugal, and Hungary and will be incorporated by the Netherlands, Austria, Czech Republic, Sweden, Slovakia, Lithuania, and South Korea. The expansion reinforces its position as a modern alternative to traditional medium or medium-heavy aircraft.

The promotion of the KC-390 at Expodefensa 2025 demonstrates Brazil’s effort to enhance the projection of its defense industry and strengthen regional cooperation, keeping industrial and military communication active between Brazil and Colombia.
