Boeing will continue maintaining and
supporting the U.S. Air Force’s C-32A and C-40BC executive
aircraft thanks to a new seven-year, US$319 million contract.
The Air Force uses the C-32A and C-40BC, which
are based on the Boeing 757 and 737 passenger planes, to transport
the vice president, cabinet members and military commanders among
others.
Boeing has supported the aircraft since first delivery in
1998 and 2001.
“The Air Force can rely on Boeing anytime,
anywhere in the world,” said Jerry Dunmire, Executive Transport
Services & Support program director. “We take great pride in
keeping these essential aircraft ready and updated with the latest
technologies.”
The C-32 and C-40 are among the many
military derivatives of commercial airplanes that Boeing has built
for U.S. and international customers.
