The Royal Brunei Air Force has completed its fleet of four Airbus C295MW aircraft with the delivery of the final two platforms on April 20, 2026, at Rimba Air Force Base.
Designated TUDB 504 and TUDB 505, the aircraft arrived at the Air Movement Centre in a ceremony attended by His Royal Highness Lieutenant Colonel (Udara) Pengiran Muda Abdul Mateen ibni His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah.
The deal for the four C295MWs was signed with Airbus Defence and Space in December 2022 to replace the CN235-110M aircraft previously in service. The first two aircraft were delivered on January 24, 2024, during an event graced by Crown Prince and Senior Minister at the Prime Minister’s Office HRH Prince Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah. They entered service on February 14, 2024, following a ceremony officiated by His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Muizzaddin Waddaulah.
Since entering service, the C295MW fleet has logged 518 flights across eight Southeast Asian countries. The aircraft support humanitarian assistance and disaster relief, medical evacuations, non-combatant evacuations, search and rescue, troop and cargo transport, VIP transport, cargo drops, military freefall, and airborne static parachute jumps.
