The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has extended its Helicopter 15 (HKP 15) maintenance agreement with Saab for the years 2020 and 2021, the company announced on 6 July.

HKP 15 has provided helicopter support and maintenance for the Swedish armed forces for almost 15 years.

Under the $7.41 million agreement, Saab will ensure flight time availability for 20 helicopters including mission equipment, military equipment and technical personnel. Saab will also provide base personnel for command, planning and administration as well as provide logistics and equipment including engine maintenance.

Currently, HKP 15 operates from two bases in Sweden - Linköping and Ronneby. The main base for maintenance, inspections and repairs is at Malmen in Linköpin, which is where the majority of Saab's resources for support and maintenance are located.
