When, in mid-April, nations decided to launch evacuation missions from Sudan, EATC stood ready to facilitate the efforts, execute missions under its operational authority and offer a seven-nation outline on national intentions.
A400Ms and C-130s assets were pre-positioned in the neighboring region to undertake tactical flights in theatre in a hostile environment and to rapidly evacuate nationals from Khartoum, Sudan’s capital, back to the regional hubs in Djibouti, Al Azraq or Acaba. This implied an accurate organization, also to fly the evacuees in quasi tail-to-tail operations back to Europe.The latter were executed with strategic aircraft such as the A330, A321, KC767 but also with C130 or A400M capabilities.
As the evacuation missions end, nations redeploy their assets back to their home bases.
