The proposed sale will enhance Australia’s ability to deploy the aircraft for global coalition operations and also for regional humanitarian or peacekeeping operations.
Australia currently operates a fleet of five C-17A aircraft from the Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) Base Amberley.
Boeing subsidiary McDonnell Douglas Corporation will be the prime contractor.
