Greece buys 60 Eurofighter planes
BERLIN, Feb 23 (AFP) - 02:36 GMT - Greece has signed the contracts on an
order for 60 Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft, the co-presidents of the European
Aeronautics Space and Defence Co. (EADS) announced in an interview published
here Friday.
The Typhoon is a twin-jet two-seater built by the Eurofighter consortium,
which involves Britain, Germany, Italy and Spain.
Athens announced it intended to order an undisclosed number of Eurofighters
last March.
The sale price is around five billion euros (4.5 billion dollars), according
to the German daily Handelsblatt which ran the interview with EADS
co-presidents Rainer Hertrich and Philippe Camus.
The EADS bosses added that Greece had also taken an option on a further 30
Eurofighters.
"This order is particularly significant for us because it is the first real
success in exporting the Eurofighter", Camus said.
Britain has spent nearly 16 billion pounds (23 billion dollars, 25.5 billion
euros) on the project and has ordered 232 aircraft.
