Speaking at the company's San Pablo final assembly site in Seville,
Spain on 15 February, Gautier said issues with the airlifter's
Europrop International TP400-D6 engines encountered during
2012 have been resolved, and that the type will meet its full
performance and payload requirements from entry into service.

Gautier identifies the period between 2 and 6 March as being
the target for the first flight of French air force aircraft MSN7,
with Airbus Military already having begun its production acceptance
test activities ahead of the milestone event. "For the time being it
is running extremely well," he says.
