Where Efficiency Meets Performance: AN-32P Firekiller Exclusively from XENA

XENA, the sole commercial operator of the AN-32P Firekiller, is setting new standards in aerial firefighting with unmatched cost-efficiency and operational versatility.

With a proven track record since 2021, XENA delivers precision emergency response services worldwide, backed by comprehensive civil aviation certifications and extensive operational experience.

The AN-32P Firekiller represents the pinnacle of aerial firefighting technology, offering exceptional utility and cost-effectiveness. This aircraft delivers precision water or fire-retardant discharge of 8,000 liters, operating at low altitudes of 40 meters and speeds of 230 km/h. With four autonomous pouring units that can be refilled in minutes, the AN-32P achieves remarkable efficiency, capable of delivering up to 32,000 liters of water per hour.

From its operational base in Slovakia, XENA's AN-32P fleet has demonstrated exceptional performance across international missions. In Turkey alone, the team has conducted over 900 successful missions, delivering ~7.3 million liters of water and retardant to combat wildfires. "With XENA and the AN-32P, we were able to considerably improve the firefighting impact of our seasonal budget," reported MAHMUT OKUDAN, Head of Aviation Department Turkey's GENERAL DIRECTORATE OF FORESTRY.

Beyond its primary firefighting role, the AN-32P offers unique multi-mission capabilities:

  • Transport of emergency personnel and oversized cargo (up to 6,700 kg)
  • Medical evacuation configuration for up to 24 stretchers
  • Deployment of up to 27 smokejumpers
  • Airdrops of emergency supplies and equipment

The aircraft's design enables operations in extreme conditions, including temperatures up to 55°C and airfield heights up to 4,500 meters above sea level. Its high engine mounting and low-pressure tires allow for short take-off and landing on unpaved runways, ensuring accessibility to remote firefighting locations.

Looking ahead, XENA continues to expand its fleet and international presence, combining cutting-edge aircraft technology with superior operational expertise. The company provides comprehensive in-field support, including maintenance teams and technical expertise, ensuring reliable operations throughout the firefighting season.
