Boeing (BA) was awarded a contract for as much as $8.6 billion from the U.S. Air Force on Monday to build F-15 fighter jets for the Israeli Air Force.
The contract “provides for the design, integration, instrumentation, test, production and delivery of 25 new F-15IA aircraft for the Israeli Air Force with an option for an additional 25 F-15IA aircraft,” with the work to be performed in St. Louis, Mo., and expected to be completed by year-end 2035. the Pentagon said.
Separately, the U.S. Air Force said Boeing (BA) received a modification to a previous award for depot maintenance services and supply management in Oklahoma City, raising the award to $4.2 billion from $1.5 billion.
