Türkiye Eurofighter Deal Saves UK Typhoon Factory
Ankara has chosen the Eurofighter Typhoon, granting a temporary reprieve to the UK's aerospace sector.
Earlier this year, the UK opted for US-origin F-35 stealth fighters instead of investing in its own aerospace sector.
Deal Details
The UK's Eurofighter production line at BAE Systems' Warton site has been granted a stay of execution following an order by Türkiye for 20 Typhoon fighters.
The £5.4bn ($7.2bn) deal will see BAE Systems manufacture major airframe components and conduct final assembly of the aircraft and lead weapons integration at its sites in Lancashire.
The deal is a lifeline for the UK's aerospace sector.
BAE Systems' Role
BAE Systems is the UK lead on the Eurofighter programme with a 37% stake.
Author's summary: Türkiye's Eurofighter deal saves UK Typhoon factory temporarily.
