Boeing Secures Three-Year Deal For Apache And Chinook Fleets
The UK government has awarded Boeing Defence UK a $1.19 billion contract to support the British Army’s Apache attack helicopters and Royal Air Force Chinook heavy-lift helicopters. The three-year deal brings support for both fleets under a single agreement for the first time and marks the first contract awarded under the UK’s Rotary Wing Enterprise framework. The contract will support about 1,200 jobs in the UK, including more than 700 within Boeing Defence UK. The work will include engineering, depth maintenance, training, and technical services for the two fleets. This development was first reported by AeroTime.
