Boeing Bags Five-Year Contracts To Support Korea's Three Critical Defense Platforms

  • Boeing Co (NYSE:BA) has received three performance-based logistics (PBL) contracts from the Republic of Korea's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA). The financial terms were not disclosed.

  • The five-year contracts will improve aircraft availability by using performance data to inform logistics and supply chain management activities.
  • Boeing will execute the contracts in partnership with the local industry, using its integrated logistics model to support ROKAF and ROKA objectives.
