Airbus SE has signed a 2.04 billion-euro ($2.16 billion)
contract with the NATO Eurofighter and Tornado Management Agency to
deliver 20 Eurofighter jets to Spain, as the member of the North
Atlantic Treaty Organization seeks to modernize its aging
fleet.
The European plane maker said Thursday that the order consists
of 16 single-seaters and four twin-seaters that will replace the
F-18 fleet operated by the Spanish Air Force on the Canary
Islands.
The first delivery is due in 2026, bringing Spain's Eurofighter
fleet to 90 aircraft.
Spain's air force operates the Eurofighter from the Moron and
Albacete air bases, and Madrid plans to equip a third base--Gando
on the Canary Islands--with Eurofighter jets.
