BAE Systems' technical support work for the UK Royal Air Force's
Panavia Tornado GR4 and Eurofighter Typhoon aircraft had to accommodate
7,000 additional flight hours due to the country's involvement in Libya
through operation Ellamy last year.
Neville Adams, support director at BAE Systems, says that the aircraft's operational output increased by 25% as a result of the "unexpected" campaign. The UK's approximately 120-strong Tornado GR4 fleet logged around 23,000 flight hours in 2011.
BAE Systems supports the Tornado GR4 fleet both at home - RAF Lossiemouth, Leuchars, Leeming, Marham and Coningsby - as well as in Afghanistan, where eight aircraft are deployed by the RAF 904 expeditionary air wing under operation Herrick.
