The A400M transporter aircraft is a tactical airlifter capable of carrying heavy loads and landing on rough airstrips.
In 2018, the Indonesian government announced plans to purchase 2 A400M transporters, to be used by the state-owned PT Perusahaan Perdagangan, to be used for the "distribution of goods in eastern Indonesia", making it likely they will be used in Papua. The planes will be flown by crews from the Indonesian air force.
