Defence Ministers � Joint Media Release ? Prime Minister and Minister for Defence ? Acquisition of two additional C-17A Globemaster III Aircraft ? 10 April 2015
The Commonwealth Government has decided to acquire two additional Boeing C-17A Globemaster III aircraft to bolster the Royal Australian Air Force's existing fleet of six strategic lift aircraft. The acquisition of the two additional C-17s and associated equipment and facilities represents an investment of $1 billion in Australia's security and the ability of the Australian Defence Force (ADF) to respond to a range of contingencies. The two additional C-17s will provide vital heavy airlift support to a range of regional and global coalition operations and greatly increase Australia's capacity to provide rapid and effective disaster rescue and relief and humanitarian aid.
