In 1999, the South African Air Force became the first export customer for the Gripen system. They received their first Gripen fighter aircraft in 2008, opening a new chapter in South Africa’s modernisation and transformation.

The agreement comprised 17 single-seater and nine two-seater Gripen aircraft together with a comprehensive industrial cooperation programme, including skills training and technology transfer.
