"We are living a true Renaissance of the Eurofighter Typhoon programme"
Speaking at an aviation media briefing at the Farnborough International Airshow today, Giancarlo Mezzanatto said there was positive news on orders.
He said the programme has a bright future on the back of:
Negotiating 25 aircraft for Spain's Halcon 2
Germany announcing plans to buy 20 more by 2025
Italy to replace 24 Tranche 1 models
He said: "We are currently negotiating 25 aircraft for Spain Halcon 2, Germany has announced the will to buy 20 additional aircraft by the first half of 2025, and Italy will buy 24 aircraft to replace Tranche 1.
"Last year we made the prediction of about 100-200 additional orders for Eurofighter in the two following years. I am happy to say that these predictions are confirmed."
Giancarlo also confirmed that Eurofighter also has ‘realistic opportunities’ in the export market before mid-2025.
