Three days after the A400M crash in Spain, Airbus Group’s military branch has resumed test flights of its military transport aircraft.
At 14:45 , today, 12 May, one of three Airbus A400M test aircraft took off from Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (south western France). The ‘plane should reach Seville after two hours’ flight. Airbus Group did not specify the number of persons on board, but says it is a ‘‘normal’’ test crew constituting a pilot, a co-pilot, mechanics and test engineers, one of whom is Fernando Alonso, the director of Airbus Group’s Defence & Space military aviation branch.
