A Turkish military airbase in the Central Anatolian province of Kayseri has launched the second maintenance center for Airbus A400M tactical transport planes, according to an official.

This is my service to my state and to my nation. I have practical solutions to two current issues: I want to convey my recommendations and very valuable views to the people of this country. There is nothing left to lose.

Turkish Aerospace Industries Inc. (TAI) has said it made its first delivery of an A350-1000 aileron set to Airbus in a ceremony held at TAI's facilities on Nov. 3. 

The delivery was the result of a contract signed nearly two years ago as an addition to the contract for an A350-900 program between the two companies, said TAI in a press release on Nov. 4. 

The Turkish Air Force has temporarily grounded its two Airbus A400Ms after the crash of a plane of the same type in Spain, daily Hürriyet learned May 10. 

At least four people were killed May 9 when an A400M crashed near Seville airport in southern Spain during a test flight, the first fatal incident involving the new transport craft.

Turkey has received its second A400M tactical transport aircraft from the Airbus consortium, the country's top defense industry procurement body has announced.
