The A380-800 GTMR (Global, Tactical, Multi, Rôle) entered service with the French Air Force in April 2010.

Following the call for tenders launched by the Minister of the Armed Forces in November 2008, wanting to acquire a heavy device to carry out various missions en masse such as the parachuting of personnel or equipment; medical evacuations; ensure the connection between the various air bases in material; and ensure the delivery of equipment for troops in conflict zones.

Airbus then embarked on a crazy gamble, that of converting the largest airliner ever built, the A380.

The European giant produced a model which directly conquered the high military authorities. An order for a single device was signed, with an option to place on two others. The manufacture of the first leaked device to launch on March 02, 2009.

In 2021 three aircraft are currently in service, 2 at the 123 Orléans-Bricy base, 1 at the 125 Istres-Le Tubé base.
