EADS CASA C-295 → Airbus C295 – per WP:COMMONNAME. The aircraft seems to now be overwhelmingly referred to as the Airbus C295 in reporting, including defence journalism and procurement announcements

Both EADS and CASA are defunct entities, and Airbus has marketed, developed, and sold the aircraft under the Airbus name for over a decade. The form "“EADS CASA C-295” appears largely in older or legacy material.

A single reverted move in 2018 owing to no discussion so listing it as a requested move to weigh opinions

• FlightGlobal - Spain confirms order for 18 Airbus C295 tactical transports
• Reuters - "India in talks for 10 more Airbus C-295 aircraft in ageing fleet revamp, sources say
• Irish Air Corps - "...welcomed the arrival at Casement Aerodrome of the third Airbus C-295..."
• Aerotime - Angola receives two Airbus C295 maritime surveillance aircraft
• Aviation Week - "Ireland has taken delivery of a transport variant of the Airbus C295 airlifter..."
• MILMAG - "The first Airbus C295 MSA..."
• Naval News - Ireland Receives First Airbus C295 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft
• UK Defence Journal - India purchases 56 Airbus C295 aircraft

Also in examples above "Airbus C-295" does continue to see some use, but "Airbus C295" is on balance more common. AlbusWulfricDumbledore (talk) 17:51, 25 December 2025 (UTC)

Agree. In absense of any widespread usage of other names, the name used by the manufacturer should be prefered https://www.airbus.com/en/products-services/defence/military-aircraft/c295 Csparta (talk) 10:59, 29 December 2025 (UTC)
