The configuration flexibility of KC-767A allows the aircraft to carry all passengers, all cargo, or a combination of the two.

The tanker is also capable of performing humanitarian response, disaster relief, and emergency aeromedical evacuation of personnel operations.

The third KC-767 tanker is expected to be delivered this summer, with the fourth to follow shortly thereafter.

All four tanker transport aircraft will replace the ItAF B-707T/T fleet.
