Greece's defense ministry signed a contract on Monday for [three KC-390 Millennium](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1355444/000129281426005108/embj20261101%5F6k.htm?ref=bullished.co) military transport aircraft from Embraer, with options for three more, the company said in a statement from Athens. Embraer, the Brazilian maker of commercial, business and military aircraft, said the deal runs through a government-to-government agreement between Greece and Portugal.

## Seventh European buyer

Embraer said the Hellenic Air Force will receive its first KC-390 Millennium in 2027\. The company said the aircraft will add to Greece's airlift and air-to-air refueling capabilities and its interoperability with NATO and allied forces, and that Greece will benefit from European synergies in training, support and logistics.

Greece is the seventh European nation to select the plane, joining Portugal, Hungary, the Netherlands, Austria, the Czech Republic and Sweden, according to the company. Beyond Europe, the air forces of Brazil, the Republic of Korea, the Republic of Uzbekistan, the United Arab Emirates and Colombia have also acquired it.

Bosco Da Costa Junior, President & CEO of Embraer Defense & Security, said the choice "[underscores the trust](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1355444/000129281426005108/embj20261101%5F6k.htm?ref=bullished.co) and confidence that leading NATO members place in our aircraft."

## What the aircraft can do

Embraer says the KC-390 Millennium carries [26 tons](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1355444/000129281426005108/embj20261101%5F6k.htm?ref=bullished.co) of payload, more than other medium-sized military transports, and flies faster, at 470 knots, and farther. Missions include cargo and troop transport, airdrops, medical evacuation, search and rescue, firefighting and humanitarian work, from temporary or unpaved runways.

Fitted with quick-installation air-to-air refueling equipment, the aircraft can act as both tanker and receiver.

## Defense inside a bigger business

Defense & Security made up 13.0% of Embraer's 2025 revenue, according to its annual report, behind Commercial Aviation at 31.3%, Executive Aviation at 29.1% and Services & Support at 25.4%. Total 2025 revenue was US$7.6 billion.

Embraer's U.S.-listed shares closed at $73.40 on Friday, giving the company a market value of $13.1 billion.

The first KC-390 Millennium is due to reach the Hellenic Air Force in 2027.
