Several flood victims had to be rescued by airlift.
In normal times these aircraft can do trooping and in abnormal times they will be ready to give a powerful airlift.
I have directed prompt action to increase airlift capacity.
I think we have perhaps allowed ourselves to be deluded by the success of the airlift, which was a magnificent feat of organisation and courage.
Over 50,000 have been airlifted out of the region.
Such a procurement will take time, however, and our need for enhanced strategic airlift is urgent.
Any decision on our future airlift capability will take account of all industrial and employment issues, as well as all other relevant factors.
We have flown 40 airlifts so far, providing tents, blankets, food, and medical and emergency supplies, with more on the way.
We are closely examining our future requirements for strategic and tactical airlift to support our deployments.
