The HCS Air Force have announced a 2.3 billion zark investment in its transport command with new aircraft and upgrades to greatly increase the capacity and reliability of what is already a pretty potent force. Top-up orders have been placed for the 2 core types the C-440 and C-485 though the C-460 order has not been increased. A new militarised version of the CCA Twinjet airliner will also be developed to replace the ageing C-420 fleet.
As well as new aircraft some 120 older C-440s will be upgraded with new engines and avionics and receive a life extension. Funding will also be provided to CCA to develop an upgraded version of the C-485. Some money (around 40%) will also go into improved cargo handling facilities and equipment at around 30 major airbases across the empire.
