Belgian A400M transport tracked to Caribbean

A Belgian Air Force A400M Atlas military transport aircraft, tail number CT-05 (callsign BAF642), has been tracked on a transatlantic flight. The aircraft departed Brussels on April 17, 2026, and made a stop in St. John's, Canada, before continuing to its final destination of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (MDSD). The flight path and use of a heavy-lift military transport suggest a potential logistical support or diplomatic mission in the Caribbean region. No official purpose for the flight has been disclosed by Belgian authorities.
