Según flightglobal.com BAE Systems está ofreciendo el ya fuera de producción BAe 146 como solución a fuerzas armadas afectadas por retrasos en las entregas de aviones de transporte. En Dicicembre, BAE reveló que Titan Airways, compañia charter, había alquilado uno de sus BAe 146 para cumplir con un contrato de 6 meses con el Ministerio de Defensa en Oriente Medio, para vuelos entre las bases británicas en la zona. BAE aspira a estar presente en el mercado militar de aviones de transporte, debido a los continuos retrasos que están sufriendo proyectos como el A400M. Con el BAe 146 se ofrece una solución intermedia: 50% de la carga que puede desplazar un avión de transporte militar al 10% del coste de un avión especializado.

According flightglobal.com BAE Systems is offering its out-of-production regional aircraft as a bridging solution for armies and air forces affected by military transport delivery delays. In December, BAE revealed that Titan Airways had leased one of its BAe 146s to fulfil a six-month MoD contract in the Middle East. Titan, a UK-based charter specialist, had been seeking an aircraft to fly "several times a week" between Bahrain, Muscat in Oman and Minhad in the United Arab Emirates, transporting "around 45 passengers" and freight on these sectors. BAE's regional aircraft division is seeking to expand its presence in military markets, because a number of replacement programmes for transport aircraft are running significantly late, and that there may be some opportunities to provide interim capacity. Deployment of an Avro RJ or BAe 146 could allow a military user to "get 50% of the capability of a specialist aeroplane at 10% of the price" when faced with budgetary constraints or technical delays.
