📽️ https://bit.ly/2NQDEQOThanks for that hint. You are right. However, the member states of the EATC are already included in our table (except for Luxembourg ;-) ). These are partly the same aircraft. @Paulpryce

Italy is part of European Air Transportation Command (EATC) which can deploy many aircraft; including A-400M.
