Embraer to showcase KC-390 Millennium at defense event DSEI Japan 2025
Embraer is set to showcase its KC-390 Millenium military transport aircraft at DSEI Japan in Chiba City from May 21-23, 2025.
Embraer said the advanced multi-mission medium airlift and tanker will be the highlight of its defense and security solutions portfolio at the exhibition (Booth H8-480).
The KC-390 Millennium is a new generation multi-mission aircraft known for its high productivity, operational flexibility, and low operational costs.
The aircraft carries more cargo (26 tons) compared to other medium-sized military cargo aircraft. It is powered by IAE V2500 engines, which allows the aircraft to operate from short, unpaved, and damaged runways. This makes the KC-390 Millenium ideal for supporting operations in remote areas and disaster zones with limited infrastructure.
“Embraer is honored to be at DSEI Japan, showcasing the capabilities and reliability of the KC-390 Millennium that attracted a growing number of operators around the world,” said Bosco da Costa Junior, President & CEO, Embraer Defense & Security.
“Japan is an important market for Embraer, with our commercial aviation’s E-Jets growing in the country over the past 15 years. Performance and reliability are key features of Embraer’s aircraft across all our business units, and we look forward to supporting Japan’s defense and aerospace needs,” da Costa Junior added.
The KC-390 Millenium is already in operation with Brazil, Portugal, and Hungary, and has been ordered by South Korea, the Netherlands, Austria, and Czech Republic.
The aircraft was recently selected by Sweden and Slovakia for their national defense needs. According to Embraer, the growing number of KC-390 operators, including NATO nations, fosters greater interoperability with key allies and provides access to a wider pool of operational knowledge and support.
Embraer also recently showcased and demonstrated the multi-mission aircraft at Joint Base Andrews in the US. The KC-390 Millenium is also currently on display at the 17th edition of Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LIMA) in Malaysia.
