BAE systems signs exclusive agreement for UK fixed wing aircraft service provision 15 Nov 2010
BAE Systems has agreed a set of exclusive agreements to lead a team comprising Gama Group Limited, Babcock Aerospace Limited and Pilatus Aircraft Limited to offer a training aircraft availability service solution for the UK armed forces.
BAE Systems is well placed to deliver a low risk, innovative aircraft availability service to Ascent to underpin the provision of a first class training environment. The solution proposed by BAE Systems would build upon the success of the output based Hawk availability contracts and deliver fully supported elementary, basic and multi engine aircrew training platforms into the UK MFTS Fixed Wing programme for 25 years.
BAE Systems is working with its partners to submit a proposal to Ascent in January 2011.
