Defence Giant Hit With Lawsuit Amid Fresh Arms Sales
BAE Systems is facing a £120 million lawsuit from Kenya’s EnComm Aviation, which alleges damages after the company pulled support for its Advanced Turbo-Prop aircraft. The lawsuit comes as BAE is linked to fresh U.S.-backed arms deals worth over $8.6 billion. The company has posted record sales and its largest-ever order backlog, but the lawsuit may pose a reputational risk. This development was reported by various sources, including Aviation Week and The Guardian.
