The five Gripen multi-role fighters, the latest C and D versions of the aircraft, are the first of fourteen ordered by Hungary. The aircraft were flown by four pilots from the Hungarian Air Force and three from the Swedish Air Force from FMV’s facility outside Linkoping.
The remaining nine Gripen aircraft will be delivered to Hungary progressively until December 2007. The fighters will now undergo inspection by the Hungarian Defense Ministry before they are formally handed over to the customer at a ceremony being held on March 30, 2006.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
We would like to offer that same opportunity to our readers. We would like to invite you to help us deliver the quality business journalism you require. Hit our Support the BBJ button and you can choose the how much and how often you send us your contributions.
