Saab has received a support contract for the service, repairs, and maintenance of the South African Air Force’s Gripen C/D jet fighters.

The order value is MSEK 333 (MZAR 532) over a three-year period.

“I am very happy and satisfied that we have now reached an agreement for a new support contract, so that we in the very best way can support our customers with their operational needs,” says Åsa Schöllin, head of Saab’s business unit Gripen Sustainment.

The contract runs for three years from 2022 until 2025 and covers service, repairs, and maintenance as well as minor updates of the support and training systems of the South African Air Forces Gripen system.  

South Africa is operating Saab Gripen C/D since 2008 and is the company’s first export customer on Gripen. 

Saab’s Gripen C-series is the most reliable swing-role combat aircraft available in the world today. Over 150 million people in five countries on three continents rely on Gripen C-series to protect their sovereign air space and ensuring their independence.

The Gripen C/D has successfully participated in NATO-led as well as numerous exercises and air policing assignments across the world.
