A four-year contract worth UK£42 million ($54.87 million) has been awarded to BAE Systems to provide ongoing support for the Royal Air Force’s fleet of four British Aerospace 146 transport aircraft. They are operated by No. 32 (The Royal) Squadron from RAF Northolt, located in west London. Included in the contract—which commenced on March 1 this year—are one- and two-year extension options. If the latter is exercised, the value rises to £60 million.
“We are delighted to have won this prestigious contract. Working with our partner Serco, we aim to deliver a first-class service to our customer to reduce costs and give clearer visibility of our performance,” said Sean McGovern, managing director of BAE Systems Regional Aircraft. “We have also worked closely with our colleagues from BAE Systems Air sector to learn from their Typhoon, Tornado, and Hawk availability contracts for the Royal Air Force in order to provide the best possible service to our customer.”
