The Panama government has announced the signing of a contract with Embraer for the purchase of four turbo-propelled aircraft A-29 Super Tucano. The new devices will be integrated into the National Aeronautical Protection Service (Senan) and will have the main missions of air patrol, recognition operations and the protection of the country.
With this acquisition, Panama becomes the eighth country in Latin America to adopt this model, thus joining Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.
Consolidated leadership
The Super Tucano is now considered the world leader in its category. With more than 600,000 hours of accumulated flight, a presence in 22 countries and a reputation for a versatile, economical and reliable plane, it has established itself as a reference. Designed for various mission profiles, it covers both aerial patrol operations and the fight against illicit activities as the training of military pilots, distinguished by its flexibility, its low operating costs and its high reliability.
Strengthening national security
This purchase is part of the Panama program aimed at strengthening national security and increasing the operational capacities of its protective forces. With the arrival of Super Tucano, the country hopes to improve its response capacity in the face of air threats and cross -border illicit activities, thus guaranteeing greater sovereignty and better territorial surveillance.
