Embraer and OGMA conclude first C-390 Millennium maintenance for the Hungarian Air Force

Embraer and OGMA have successfully completed the first scheduled 24- month maintenance of a C-390 Millennium aircraft operated by the Hungarian Air Force. The work was carried out at OGMA’s facilities in Portugal, representing a key milestone for the program and further strengthening the C-390 Millennium support structure in Europe. This milestone builds on Embraer’s recently signed service agreement to support the Hungarian Air Force’s C-390 Millennium fleet.

Brigadier General Tamás Bali PhD, Commander of the Hungarian Air Force commented: “The completion of this first C-390 Millennium maintenance at OGMA marks an important milestone for our operations. We are very satisfied with the overall execution and the high level of technical expertise demonstrated by the teams. The close collaboration between the Hungarian Air Force, OGMA, and Embraer ensured a smooth and well-coordinated process. We are highly satisfied with the outcome and the level of support provided throughout the activity.”

Douglas Lobo, VP Customer Support & Aftermarket Sales, Embraer Services & Support stated: “This maintenance event for the Hungarian Air Force’s C-390 Millennium is a significant step in strengthening our support capabilities in Europe. Working together with OGMA, we delivered a robust and efficient service that supports operational readiness and long-term customer satisfaction. This achievement reinforces our commitment to delivering reliable, high-performance capabilities to customers in Europe and worldwide.”

The services contract between Embraer and the Hungarian Air Force includes maintenance, logistics, and technical support, leveraging Embraer’s European service network. Hungary, the second NATO operator of the C-390, received its full fleet of two aircraft in November 2025. Since entering service in late 2024, the aircraft have demonstrated outstanding operational performance.

C-390 Millennium is a next-generation multi-mission aircraft designed to operate in demanding environments. It can perform a wide range of missions, including cargo and troop transport, medical evacuation, humanitarian assistance, search and rescue, precision cargo airdrops, paratrooper operations, and air-to-air refueling. The Hungarian aircrafts are the first equipped with a modular roll-on/roll-off Intensive Care Unit (ICU), expanding their capability for advanced medical missions.
