The future of the Royal Canadian Air Force's fleet is here and it looks incredible! The livery is beautiful!

This is the Royal Canadian Air Force's FIRST Airbus CC-330 Husky arriving in Canada for the very first time! The Airbus CC-330 Husky is the Canadian Armed Forces version of the Airbus A330-200.
The CC-330 Husky was introduced in 2023 as the replacement aircraft for the aging CC-150 Polaris (A310) fleet. The Royal Canadian Air Force bought 4 used CC-330's and 5 newly built ones from Airbus.

The Royal Canadian Air Force plans on operating this sole CC-330 for VIP movement (Prime Minister transport) which will be replacing the current CC-150 in the famed livery (15001). The other 8 CC-330 will be MRTT operations (aerial refuelling, troop transport etc..). The CC-330 will be based in both eastern and western Canada; this VIP one will be based in Ottawa.

This is the very first CC-330 Husky which is an ex-Kuwait airways aircraft. The aircraft was in Basel for maintenance, paint and configuration. The aircraft are expected to operate for the Royal Canadian Air Force for the next 30 years.
As the aircraft has not officially been accepted by the Royal Canadian Air. Force, the aircraft flew in with Kuwaiti Airways crew, callsign and is still registered as 9K-APC. Once the RCAF officially accepts the aircraft, it will. be re-registered to 33002.
