On the other hand, the decision on the modernisation
must follow in-depth cost-effectiveness analyses.
In the near future, the Warsaw branch of Airbus may win
even more orders from the Defence Ministry as part of
the „Płomyk" and „Płomykówka" programme, which
involves the planned purchase of land-based patrol and
surveillance aircraft. One idea is to use more C295 mod-
els, which would make training and logistics much easier
– if the decision is made in favour of Airbus, it will require
reconstruction and adaptation of special encasements to
the domestic requirements.
Airbus Defence & Space is one of the major players on
the global military aviation market. The Polish contri-
bution to the development of the company shows that
the European giant is capable of effective performance
of its obligations towards the Polish authorities. This
could be a strong argument in other tender procedures
regarding the modernisation of the Polish air force, in
which the company participates or is planning to par-
ticipate in the future.
