With most companies on Christmas break between Christmas and New Year, it was a welcome surprise to learn that Alenia Aeronautica was busy completing their final aircraft deliveries for the year, exceeding the total planned for 2010. These last deliveries came in the form of five Eurofighter Typhoon jets that were handed over to the Italian customer on one day.

On the 28th December 2010, Eurofighter Partner Company Alenia Aeronautica signed over IS037, IS039, IS040, IS041, IT011 to the Italian Air Force, bringing the total number of deliveries for the programme in 2010 to 51 – far higher than had been predicted.

This success is yet another impressive indication of the hard work and commitment of the partner companies to meeting and exceeding customer requirements. Throughout the year, the highly skilled Typhoon staff work tirelessly to ensure that each aircraft is safely delivered on time and on schedule. A nice way to end the year.
