Alenia Aeronautica will enter into exclusive contract negotiations with the Slovak defence ministry, after Bratislava selected the C-27J Spartan (below) to meet its future tactical transport requirements believed to be for at least two aircraft.
"Negotiations will start soon, and we are confident to reach an agreement in the short term", says the Italian manufacturer. The Slovak defence ministry says the process will focus on "Payment conditions and offset programmes", and that the shortlisted company has committed to delivering industrial benefits worth 100% of the contract value.
