extrait :

In September 2008 a $287 million fixed-price contract was awarded to Alenia to provide the then Afghan National Army Air Corps with 18 former Italian air force G222 twin turboprop transport aircraft.

The aircraft were overhauled at Alenia’s facilities at Capodichino airport near Napels, Italy and the first refurbished G222 returned to flight on 30 July 2009 …

The cancellation is another setback to the US exit strategy of building capable and self-sufficient Afghan security forces which can take over from US and international troops leaving the country.

Finalement selon air International de novembre 2014, les G222 ont été mis à la casse aux USA. Les materiaux récupérés ont tout de même représenté quelques 30 000 USD.
