4 January 2021: South Korean Air Force recently granted three avionics upgrade contracts to Israel Aerospace Industries worth USD 50 million. The avionic upgrade process includes converting a used aircraft and retrofitting it with all or part of the avionic systems with new and advanced systems. The result is an aircraft with advanced performance, capable of meeting the challenges of modern military or civilian aviation.
IAI EVP and General Manager of Aviation Group, Yosef (Yossi) Melamed said, “The recent tenders won in South Korea reflect the Korean Defence Minister’s confidence in IAI’s Aviation Group. The Aviation Group seeks to expand its operations in South Korea, both as a supplier and as a client. Recently, we relocated to South Korea the wings’ assembly line for our G280 business jet. We anticipate more collaborations and deals down the road.”
It includes three different aircraft types used by Korean Air Force.
