The Brazilian air force and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) have renewed contract negotiations over Brazil's acquisition of three Boeing 767-300ERs that will be converted into tankers.

Attempts to finalise the terms of the deal – which was agreed in mid-2014 – were delayed by general elections held in Brazil last October.

An initial contract with IAI was signed last year, but the exact details of the conversion plan were not concluded.

One of the aircraft will be modified by the company’s Bedek division in Israel,
while the other two should be modified in Brazil by TAP subsidiary TAP Manutenção e Engenharia Brasil.
