IAC AVIATION WINS SUBSTANTIAL FOLLOW-ON CONTRACTS FROM KUWAIT ROYAL AIR FORCE

Following the successful refurbishment of two IAC-built F404 Hush Houses in Kuwait last year, IAC Aviation has now secured two substantial follow-on orders from the Kuwait Royal Air Force.

The first of these is for In Service Support providing: technical query answering, spares re-provisioning, and hands-on training and servicing of key systems. The second contract is for upgrading the facilities with the replacement and repair of certain major systems, together with an upgrade to the existing Automatic Data Acquisition Processing System.

David Swartfigure, Commercial Business Manager of IAC Aviation, said: "Securing these contracts now gives us the opportunity to cement the first-class working relationship we have developed with both the Customer Project Team and the Hush House End-Users during the performance of the initial refurbishment contract. This new work has been under discussion for many months and we can now look forward to delivering further first-class product in support of these important test facilities."

The F404 Hush Houses refurbished by IAC last year are based at Ahmed Al Jaber and at Ali Al Salem and both accommodate the F/A-18 fighter aircraft. The latter also accommodates the Hawk Trainer. Both facilities are utilised for installed and uninstalled testing.

IAC Aviation is a specialist turnkey aero-engine testing solutions provider, offering design, build and full refurbishment services.
