Ministry of Defence approved amendment to contract on spare parts and product support for Hornet aircraft
Defence Minister Antti Kaikkonen has authorised the Defence Forces to sign an amendment to the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) contract with the United States Navy. The contract concerns spare parts and product support for the Hornet aircraft in 2021-2024.
As a part of a package to develop air defence, the contract on product support secures the usability of the Hornet aircraft. It covers software maintenance, spare parts for the aircraft and equipment, instruction materials, and repair, and transport and training services. The original contract on product support was signed in 2013. This amendment ensures that required services will be available until 2024
