The worldwide standard

The A330 Multi-Role Tanker Transport — on which EADS North America’s KC-45 is based — has become the benchmark in aerial refueling platforms for air forces around the world. It has been selected over Boeing tankers in the last five head-to-head competitions, for its superior capability and value.

Superior Technology Flying Now, Around the Globe

Powerful, flexible, efficient and survivable, our tanker is in production now for four nations, configured to meet and exceed their mission requirements.

Together, Australia, the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates have ordered 28 of our aircraft. These key American allies already made the decision to equip their fighting forces with the most capable and modern systems flying in the world today.
