This tailored support package and Boeing’s decades of vertical lift experience bring superior global sustainment expertise to the Israeli customer
22 April 2021: Israeli Air Force has signed up Boeing for integrated logistics support for Israel’s AH-64A-model and D-model Apache helicopters. Boeing will deliver logistical, program, engineering and technical support, A- and D-model technical publications, D-model unique repairs, an in-country field service representative, and overhaul material kits for various drivetrain systems, including transmissions and gearboxes. This contract is a direct commercial sale awarded in December 2020 and is a five-year follow-on contract that builds on Boeing’s current IAF Apache support.
“This tailored support package and Boeing’s decades of vertical lift experience bring superior global sustainment expertise to our Israeli customer and elevates the capability of their Apache fleet to support key missions,” said Indra Duivenvoorde, director of Europe and Israel services for Boeing.
Boeing has been delivering support for the IAF’s fleet of Apache helicopters for decades and currently provides transactional spares, A-model repairs, support and test equipment, and engineering project support for the IAF. A Boeing field service representative has been co-located with the customer since 1991 to provide on-site technical support.
In addition to the US Army, Israel is one of 16 partner nations around the globe operating the Apache as its primary attack helicopter, with multiple global defense forces expressing high interest. More than 2,500 helicopters have been delivered worldwide.
