Despite rumours and intentions to purchase additional C-130Hs and even C-130Js, the Airbus A400M now seems to be the preferred large transport of choice. A visit of an Ejército del Aire (EdA, Spanish Air Force) A400M to FAMEX 2017 already underlined the interest of the Mexican high command in this type of aircraft. The air transport squadrons have an important task in response to natural disasters and the A400M seems the obvious choice, with its ability to haul large loads of aid and to land on austere runways. The FAM has issued a Request For Quotation (RFQ) for two aircraft with Airbus.
