Embraer showcases the KC-390 Millennium tanker airplane at "ARSAG"

The event takes place from April 29 to May 1 in Las Vegas

Embraer Defense & Security is attending the 47th edition of "ARSAG" (Aerial Refueling Systems Advisory Group) conference, which takes place from April 29 to May 1 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It brings together the US Air Force, US Navy, US Marine Corps and US Army with NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) and Allies from 20 Nations to promote best practices and the safety of joint military operations and aerial refueling systems. 

Additionally, one KC-390 Millennium operated by the Brazilian Air Force is on display at the Atlantic Aviation FBO, located at the Harry Reid International Airport.

The model is a medium airlifter and tanker designed and built in the 21st century. It is quickly becoming the aircraft of choice among NATO members and allies in Europe, contributing to the modernization of their armed forces while adding new capabilities and enhancing interoperability with allied forces. The airplane is already in operation with Brazil, Portugal, and Hungary, and has already been ordered by the Netherlands, Austria, and Czech Republic, in addition to Sweden and Slovakia, both of which recently selected the aircraft; South Korea completes the growing list of nations that have opted for it.
