Transport (Fixed-Wing) Fleet Strength by Country (2023)



FIXED-WING | AIRPOWER

Ranking total transport fleet strength by country, from highest to lowest.



Fixed-wing transport aircraft are the 'movers and shakers' of the modern military force. For this reason, the GFP ranking takes into account the inherent capability of each individual global power to move man-and-machine over distance. Transport fleet strength includes strategic-, tactical-, and utility-level types embodied by the Boeing C-17 'Globemaster III', Airbus CN-235, and Cessna 208 forms, respectively.

Data presented on this list is through 2023.
