A330 MRTT Update 2012 These slides were presented during the Trade Media 2012 event held at Madrid, Spain and Toulouse, France in May 2012. The slides were prepared for presentation by Antonio Caramazana, VP, Head of Airbus Military Derivatives, but he was on travel and not available to give the briefing. In his stead, Francisco Carrasco, Director RSAF MRTT Program provided the briefing and answered questions. The briefing provides an overview on the tanker and the status with the launch customers. The non-U.S. market of course is dominated by the A330 MRTT tanker.
