Boeing has been contracted to deliver its final C-17 Globemaster III strategic airlifter to India.
A USD262 million award for the delivery of the last C-17 to the Indian Air Force (IAF) to roll off the now-closed production line at Long Beach, California, was announced on 30 March. The aircraft, which was built as a ‘white-tail’ (with no customer yet signed up), will join the 10 C-17s already fielded by the IAF by 22 August 2019.
This contract follows US State Department approval of the sale, which the Defense Security and Cooperation Agency (DSCA) had originally put at USD336.2 million.
