Airbus had planned to deliver the MSN023 in June as the third A400M for Turkey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Television channel Telecinco carried footage of dense black smoke rising from the crash as filmed by a passing car, and there was video showing fire engines and other emergency vehicles at the wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airbus is sending a &#8220;go-team&#8221; of company experts to the scene and is cooperating with the authorities, the company said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turkey signed in 2003 an order for 10 A400Ms, with the last of the units due to be delivered in 2018. Turkey has previously complained about a late delivery of the Airbus aircraft and expected to claim penalties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airbus handed over the first two aircraft for Turkey last year and a further two were due this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Airbus Military has an assembly and test site for transport aircraft here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Belgium, France, Germany, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Spain and Britain have also ordered the A400M. The orders total 174 of the units and 12 delivered and operating, said the Airbus website. The company has dubbed the plane the Grizzly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Airbus A400M military transport aircraft, which had been ordered by Turkey, crashed Saturday near
