Why is it in Portugal?

 

[Michel Niesten]

Why is it in Portugal?

Alverca in Portugal is home to the OGMA company, they do a lot of maintenance on C-130, and P-3. Also other aircraft. So this Orion is there for maintenance

On the way to US or coming from US?

 

[Aamir Hussain]

Going from Pakistan to Portugal.

Would PN be interested in acquiring more used P3Cs or is it considering other options like ATRs?

No More P3Cs

Maybe a few more ATRs

The maritime surveillance workhorse for PN in the future will be the Lineage 1000 Twin Jet LRMPA

It's future role should be with MSA.

No More P3Cs

Maybe a few more ATRs

The maritime surveillance workhorse for PN in the future will be the Lineage 1000 Twin Jet LRMPA

This is a good option for PN and it should be bought in good numbers like 10-12.

Though initial batch would be of 2-4 Aircraft.

Is this conformed news ? the Lineage 1000 ?

Yes. It is confirmed

 

[TOPGUN]

Yes. It is confirmed

Mashallah ... thanks.

 

[Scorpiooo]

Yes. It is confirmed

How many they will get ? Any idea

 

[Bilal Khan (Quwa)]

How many they will get ? Any idea

My guess is that it'd be a long-term effort. So, at least as many planes to ultimately replace the P-3Cs and a few additional aircraft to sit as attrition reserves. Perhaps 12?

I think total of the type produced is around 30 so finding 12 out of the 30 will be an uphill task

Yes. It is confirmed

So same German system will be installed in Brazilian jet or turkish?? When replacement gonna start???

After COVID I believe it shouldn't be problem since many Airlines are struggling
