Panama’s government announced the signing of the contract with EMBRAER to buy four A-29 Super Tucano A-29 aircraft. The new machines will be included in the National Air Protection Service (Senan) and their main tasks will be air patrols, reconnaissance missions and state border protection.
This purchase becomes Panama’s eighth country of Latin America that has accepted this model, besides Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Paraguay, Uruguay and the Dominican Republic.
Fastened
Super Tucano is now considered a world leader in his category. It has over 600,000 flight hours, operates in 22 countries and has a reputation as a universal, economic and reliable aircraft. It was designed for different types of missions, from air patrols and fighting against illegal activities to training military pilots. It excels in its flexibility, low operating costs and high reliability.
Strengthening of national security
The purchase is part of the Panama program to strengthen the national security and expand the operating capabilities of its security forces. With the advent of Super Tucano, the country expects to increase the ability to respond to air threats and cross -border illegal activities, thereby ensuring greater sovereignty and territorial supervision.
