29Airbus Voyager ZZ336, "Vespina" is the official aircraft for the Prime Minister, senior government members, and members of the Royal Family since 2016. It is one of 14 air-to-air refuelling tanker/transport Airbus A330 MRTT aircraft given the service name Voyager, operated by AirTanker Services for the Royal Air Force. Landing and taxiing into RAF Brize Norton after being painted at Cambridge.
AN RAF Voyager has been converted to provide a cost effective, secure and flexible transport solution for Government Ministers and the Royal Family. The aircraft now proudly displays the Union Flag alongside RAF markings and is now ready to represent the UK across the globe. The smart new paint scheme will promote ‘Global Britain’ during missions to transport large VIP,
Royal and business delegations across the world, creating British jobs and contributing to the continued health of the economy.
After weeks of extensive and complex works, the Voyager returned to RAF Brize Norton where it will be based alongside the rest of the RAF Voyager fleet. Alongside its VIP Role, the aircraft remains certified for its original use, including Air-to-Air Refuelling. It can fly from and to almost any airport
across the world that can take an Airbus A330, and its range will allow it to reach much of the world without costly and time-consuming refuelling.
