Saab and Sabena technics sign agreement relating to GlobalEye
Saab has signed a framework agreement with the French aircraft maintenance and modification provider Sabena technics relating to aircraft modification work for Saab’s GlobalEye Airborne Early Warning and Control (AEW&C) aircraft.
The long-term agreement is intended to form the basis for future business between the companies, covering complex aircraft modification and associated services for GlobalEye.
“This reenforces Saab’s commitment to collaborate with French industry while supporting the expansion of our modification capacity to meet the increasing demand for GlobalEye. Sabena technics has the expertise and experience to provide this support,” says Lars Tossman, head of Saab’s business area Aeronautics.
GlobalEye is Saab’s advanced multi-domain AEW&C solution using Bombardier’s Global 6000/6500 business jet aircraft. Transforming the airframe into a GlobalEye platform involves extensive technically complex work which requires highly-skilled and dedicated personnel.
