The second of 10 C-17 Globemaster III transport aircraft ordered by India has been delivered by Boeing and is to immediately enter service.

The delivery of the mission-ready aircraft to the Indian air force was the second in a month and was part of the air force’s modernization program.

“C-17s have an important role in supporting unique Indian air force operations in remote locations such as the Himalayas and desert environments,” said Nan Bouchard, Boeing vice president and C-17 program manager.

Boeing said three more Indian air force C-17s are to be delivered this year and the remaining five on order next year.
