Airbus A310-222 Long-haul twin-engined freight and passenger aircraft Since many years the Belgian Air Force operated two Boeing 727 airliners for mid-range transport of personnel and freight. Due to the ever growing demand to transport Belgian troops on missions abroad the need arose for a larger and longer legged airliner. As budgetary restrictions did not permit the acquisition of new machines, two second hand Airbus A310-222 aircraft were obtained from Singapore Airlines. Both transporters are based at Melsbroek airbase near Brussels and form part of the 15th Transport Wing. |
