The EADS CASA C-295 is a tactical transport aircraft, designed for the movement of personnel and cargo within military conditions. Accordingly, it can be operated from austere airstrips with minimal reliance on ground support infrastructures; it can reportedly be operated on soft ground without major issues even when heavily loaded.

Equipped with retractable landing gear and an unobstructed 12.69 metre pressurised cabin, the C295 can cruise at altitudes up to 30,000 ft while maintaining excellent low-level flight characteristics. It has remarkable short take-off and landing (STOL) performance from unpaved, soft and sand/grass airstrips.
