The HCSAF has received it's first VC-460 Executive VIP transport, the first aircraft it has received based on the CCA 460 airliner. The 460 is, at it's most basic, a two-engined version of the 440 (which as the C-440 is the backbone of the HCSAF transport fleet) though it also has a number of refinements including a new wing and greater use of composites to reduce the weight of the aircraft. These improvements will later be rolled into a future version of the 440.
The HCSAF will receive 45 C-460s in both VIP and normal combi passenger/cargo configurations. It will replace the ageing C-360 and VC-370 fleets as well as some older C-440s.
