PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
A400M Aircraft (17 July 2019)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether restrictions have been imposed on the type of stores that are carried by the A400M as a result of vibration problems with that aircraft.

Asked by:
Mr Mark Francois (Conservative)

Answer

A400M routinely carries ordnance, munitions and explosives in support of the UK's Defence commitments including in the broader Middle East. The type of stores that can be carried have been cleared through a qualification process in line with operational priorities, and there are no restrictions specific to A400M due to vibration.
