Airbus A321 for Luftwaffe

Post by Gerard »

The German Air Force is presently lacking a medium-range jet, which is able to accommodate larger delegations.
The German parliament approved the purchase of an ex Lufthansa A321 (for 89.608.677 Euro) for the Flugbereitschaft yesterday.
The aircraft should be operational in 2019.

89mio? I hope they either get a very new one for that money... or plenty of spare parts... List price for a new one is currently 114mio (so actual sales price will be closer to 60-70mio).

The 89 Million will be for the aircraft, and vip-conversion included. Which is still a lot of money...

Updating this story...
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/artic ... ns-433125/
Germany has signed a deal with the special mission division of MRO provider Lufthansa Technik (LHT) for the acquisition and conversion of an Airbus A321 for its air force.

Berlin values the agreement, signed on 5 January 2017, at €90 million ($96 million), which also includes spare parts and training.

Conversion work is due to take place at LHT’s Hamburg facility and will initially be performed to civilian certification standards.
According to Flight they are now aiming for 2018...
