Read MoreHide Full Article
The Boeing Company (BA - Free Report) recently clinched a $221.4-million contract involving the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G aircraft. The deal involves the procurement of seven various configurations of flight control surface spares used on the F/A-18 E/F and EA-18G aircraft.
The work related to the deal will be carried out in St. Louis, MO. The contract, which is expected to be completed by December 2029, has been awarded by the Naval Supply Systems Command Weapon Systems Support, Philadelphia, PA.
What’s Favoring Boeing?
As nations continue to strengthen their defense structure, defense spending on military arms and ammunition that boast technologically advanced features continues to increase manifold. This also includes increased investments in military aircraft that play a critical role in air warfare missions.
Boeing being a global leader in the development, production, maintenance and enhancement of fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft stands to benefit from such increased demand. The company delivers the most digitally advanced, simply and efficiently produced and intelligently supported solutions to its customers. Its impressive range of product portfolio includes F/A-18 Super Hornet, P-8, C-17 Globemaster III, EA-18G, etc.
Its ability in the development, production and mission-enabling upgrades of integrated solutions helps the company witness a significant order inflow for its military aircraft, like the latest one. Such contract wins tend to boost BA’s operating results.
Going forward, per the report from the Coherent Market Insights firm, the global military aircraft market is poised to witness a CAGR of 5.4% over the 2022-2030 period. Considering the widening growth prospects in tandem with Boeing’s expertise in manufacturing military aircraft, BA’s order book may further get a significant boost, which will bolster its overall revenue generation prospects.
