EADS has been awarded a contract to provide product support services to the South African Air Force (SAAF) CASA transport aircraft fleet.
The new award is an extension of a 2009 contract to provide services for four CASA C212 and one CASA C235 aircraft.
The C212 Aviocar is a short take-off and landing aircraft that was designed as a C47 replacement and is capable of taking off from fields as short as 400m.
The C235 is a short take-off and landing aircraft with a rough field and low-level flying capabilities for tactical penetration missions.
