Panama’s government has announced the signing of a contract with Embra for the purchase of four AT-29 Super Tucano Turfr flights. The new aircraft will be integrated into the National Air Protection Service (Senan) and will primarily be tasked with performing air patrol, reconnaissance missions and protection of the country’s borders.
With this purchase, Panama becomes the eighth country in Latin America that uses the model, along with Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.
Consolidated leadership
Today, Super Tucano is considered to be the world’s leader in his category. The aircraft has accumulated more than 600,000 flight hours, is present in 22 countries and has a reputation for being versatile, economical and reliable. It is designed for many different types of missions – from air patrol and combating illegal activities for training military pilots – and is distinguished by its flexibility, low operating costs and high reliability.
Strengthening the national security
The purchase is part of Panama’s program to strengthen national security and expand the operational capabilities of the country’s protection forces. With the arrival of Super Tucano, the country expects to be able to increase its responsiveness to air threats and cross -border illegal activities, ensuring greater sovereignty and territorial surveillance.
