contract includes services and other activities to be provided by Alenia Aermacchi also for the initial

ordered to date to 719, 517 of which have been contracted by Italy, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain,
Saudi Arabia, Austria and Oman. This number of orders makes Eurofighter the Europe’s largest
collaborative program in the Defence sector.
Since entry-into-service in 2004, the over 350 aircraft delivered to 20 operational units of six Air Forces
accumulated more than 160,000 flying hours.
