## Notes[edit]

1. ^ A total of 10 C-130 transport configuration in service. World Air Forces 2024 stated that 1 C-130 in MPA section and 9 C-130 in transport section (total of 10) which is outdated information as RMAF has no more C-130 in MPA configuration as per new MPA aircraft ordered and delivered.
2. ^ A total of 4 CN-235 in service. 3 in transport configuration and 1 in VIP configuration. World Air Forces 2024 just stated 3 transport configuration in service because it doesn't count the one that in VIP role.
3. ^ A total of 2 UH-60 in service. World Air Forces 2024 stated that 4 in service which is outdated information as the additional used UH-60 procurement from Brunei was cancelled.
