Portugal became the launch customer for the new variant of this sophisticated trainer and light attack plane when the Portuguese Ministry of National Defense signed a deal with Embraer to purchase 12 A-29N Super Tucanos to outfit the Portuguese Air Force. Portugal’s commitment to modernizing its Air Force with a proven and adaptable aircraft that is well-suited for Advanced Pilot Training, Light Attack, Close Air Support (CAS), and Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) operations is reflected in this purchase.
