Boeing Co. has received a U.S. Air Force contract valued at up
to $23.8 billion over 10 years to support the C-17 Globemaster III
worldwide mission.
Under the agreement, Boeing would continue performing critical
sustainment activities, including engineering, field support, and
material management, for a global fleet of 275 aircraft.
"The C-17 continues to serve as the strategic airlift workhorse
for the nation, as evidenced by its impressive performance in the
recent airlift of more than 124,000 evacuees from Afghanistan in an
around-the-clock operation," said Brig. Gen. Darren Cole, air
mobility command director of Logistics, Engineering and Force
Protection. "As the command responsible for operating the U.S. Air
Force C-17 fleet, AMC looks forward to the continued partnership
with our Boeing teammates as we work to keep the Globemaster fleet
healthy for years to come."
Boeing said the program is funded through September 2024 with a
Phase I award of $3.5 billion. The contract provides additional
funding for international staffing, maintenance efforts and cyber
security.
