Delivery of the first tranche of the core programme has now been completed.

Together with Dornier Flugzeugwerft (DFW), depot maintenance work, and overhaul and upgrade programmes for the mission aircraft E-3A AWACS of NATO and for the maritime patrol aircraft P-3 Orion and Breguet Atlantic operated by the German Navy are also carried out here.
