Malaysia to resume tender on naval patrol aircrafts
30.11.2009
Malaysia plans to resume tender on naval patrol aircraft, informs Flight International.
However, tender budget will be significantly decreased, adds the informer referring to anonymous source in the industry.
In 2005 Fokker Services and Malaysian company Airod won a tender on delivery naval patrol aircrafts Fokker 50 to Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA). Though, the delivery had not started as the agency could not obtain financing.
This time the tender will be headed by Malaysian Royal Air Force which needs four deck-based aircrafts at the first stage. Currently, duties of naval patrol aircrafts are being performed by four aircrafts Beechcraft Super King Air commissioned in 1994. They are those aircrafts to be replaced. Besides, MMEA ordered two multirole amphibian aircrafts Bombardier 415 last year.
Malaysia plans to issue request for proposal in first quarter of 2010. Selection of successful tenderer is also scheduled in 2010, and delivery of the aircrafts should be completed in 2012.
Among those companies attending the tender may be Italian Alenia Aeronautica with an aircraft ATR 42 Surveyor M, Indonesian company Indonesian Aerospace with its CN-235 MPA, company Fokker Services (Fokker 50) and Swedish Saab with aircrafts Saab 340 and Saab 2000.
