Signed its first F-35 contract
Undertegnet sin første F-35-kontrakt
The Norwegian company AIM Norway on Wednesday 19 June signed its first contract with Lockheed Martin for work on the F-35 Lightning II.
AIM Norway undertegnet onsdag 19. juni sin første kontrakt med Lockheed Martin.
This means that the ultimate value of this work may be significant larger.
Den endelige verdien av dette arbeidet kan derfor bli mye større.

AIM Norway is a state-owned enterprise established in 2011, based on the former Air Force Main Workshops.
AIM Norway er et statsforetak som ble opprettet i 2011 basert på det som tidligere var Luftforsvarets hovedverksted.

Selskapet har allerede en viktig rolle i vedlikeholdet av dagens norske F-16, og håper å kunne utføre lignende tjenester for F-35 i fremtiden, og da ikke bare for norske fly.
- It is very important to the Norwegian government that our defense industry is given the opportunity to participate in support and maintenance of the F-35 throughout the service life of the aircraft, which will extend far beyond 2050.
- Det er svært viktig for regjeringen at norsk industri får anledning til å delta i støtten og vedlikeholdet av F-35 gjennom hele flyets levetid, som vil strekke seg langt etter 2050.
Here AIM Norway has a lot of potential, especially on the engine side, and can potentially be part of the support of all F-35s that will be operated or stationed in Europe.
Her har AIM Norway et stort potensial, spesielt på motorsiden, og kan potensielt bidra til å støtte alle F-35 som i fremtiden skal opereres eller stasjoneres i Europa.
