Germany's government air fleet — operated by the Bundeswehr's Special Air Mission Wing (Flugbereitschaft BMVg) — is one of the most modern in Europe following its controversial replacement of the aging A310s and A340s. Three brand-new Airbus A350-941s (10+01, 10+02, 10+03), each fitted out with secure comms, hardened avionics, and VIP interiors, form the intercontinental backbone.
The fleet is supplemented by three Airbus A319-133 ACJs (15+01, 15+02, 15+03) for European travel, an A321 (15+04), and multiple Bombardier Global 5000 and 6000 jets (14+02 through 14+07) for senior ministerial travel. All operate under the GAF (German Air Force) callsign prefix.
The fleet became internationally known after repeated embarrassing breakdowns of the old aircraft stranded Chancellor Merkel mid-journey. The A350 replacement was the direct response. Chancellor Friedrich Merz (in office since 2025) is a frequent traveller to G7, NATO, and EU forums.
