What is EATT? The European Air Transport Training (EATT) is a Pooling & Sharing initiative aimed at developing a comprehensive airlift training opportunity within Europe. Training activities are based on national requirements and are designed to optimise multinational training opportunities.

EATT is the only multinational air transport event in Europe including Intel, Maintenance, Aeromedical Evacuation, Com-bined Air Terminal Operations and Cross-Paratroopers training.

EATT 15 in Beja, PortugalEATT 15 will take place in Beja, Portugal, from 14 to 26 June 2015. The event will gather 15 aircraft from 11 European nations: Belgium (1 x C-130), Germany (2 x C160), Finland (1 x C-295), France (1 x CN235, 1 x C-130), Italy (1 x C-27J), Lithuania (1 x C-27J), the Neth-erlands (1 x C-130), Portugal (1 x C-130, 1 x C-295), Romania (1 x C-27J), Sweden (2 x C-130) and the United Kingdom (1 x C-130).

This year’s edition of EATT will have a joint character, with air-crews training together with paratroopers from different na-tions, allowing the latter to certify their equipment on other countries’ aircraft.

The event will start with academic sessions, followed by day and night missions of increasig complexity, eventually evolving to mutliple ship formation and composite air opera-tions (COMAOs), with scenarios also including simulated air-to-air and air-to-ground threats.
