The Air Cavalry operates 391 aircraft across its various Brigades with some being phased out of service over the coming years.
The General Staff upgraded the fighter inventory in late 2020 with the purchase of twenty-four GA-20M and thirty-six GA-36s from [[Volkia]] and twelve JAS-39E Gripens from [[Cryria]], replacing the 56 L-65 Tiburóns that had been in service since the 1970s and the 32 L-60 Mantarayyas from the 1950s. The Mantarayyas were sold as scrap and most Tiburóns sold to the [[The Company of the Quill|Company of the Quill]] as their new air wing.
In 2022, the CAAR recieved delivery of twenty-four L-75 Gavilán light fighters from the joint Antoran-Cryrian Advanced Lightweight Adaptable Military Aircraft project, as well as ten L/U -448 Gaviotas from the domestic Compact Sumbarine Destroyer Aircraft program. This enabled the air fleet to be reorganized further, with all 36 GA-36 interceptors and 12 GA-20M fighters being transferred to the Royal Antoran Guard. Six V/U-47 maritime patrol aircraft and five L/U-449 Martín anti-submarine aircraft were transferred to the [[Royal Antoran Armada]].
As part of the induction into the Inter-Novaran Treaty of Reciprocal Assistance, the Air Cavalry recieved 10 L-100 Solaris strike aircraft from [[Volscina]], enabling Antora to deploy nuclear warhead-tipped cruise missiles and bombs as part of the INTRA deterrence triad.
