The Falkland Islands government has signed a letter of intent with Britten-Norman
covering the acquisition of four BN-2 Islander utility aircraft.
Valued at $9.75 million,
the four aircraft would further modernise the fleet of the Falkland Islands Government Aviation Service (FIGAS).
FIGAS previously ordered two examples of the piston-twin with one already in service.
All the new aircraft will be built at Britten-Norman’s UK final assembly facility,
located at Bembridge on the Isle of Wight off England’s south coast.
Britten-Norman recently gained new investment and ownership in the form of Beechlands Enterprises
that will enable it to scale up the manufacturing operation in the UK.
