The agreement reinforces both companies’ long-term partnership and shared ambition to strengthen Denmark’s national defense capabilities through local MRO solutions for the P-8 aircraft
Terma and Boeing have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) aimed at exploring cooperation on Maintenance, Repair, and Overhaul (MRO) support for the P-8 maritime patrol aircraft in Denmark. The announcement was made during a signing ceremony at this year’s DALO Industry Days, underscoring the importance of industrial collaboration in enhancing national defense readiness.

By joining forces, Terma and Boeing are not only addressing immediate operational needs, but also laying the groundwork for a more resilient and self-sufficient defense support structure in Denmark – one that enhances national security while fostering long-term industrial growth.
“This agreement marks an important step in our ambition to strengthen Denmark’s position in critical sustainment capabilities. We believe that robust MRO infrastructure is essential to ensuring operational availability of key assets such as the P-8. If the Danish Defense decides on acquiring the P-8 as a new military platform, we – as the industry, stand ready to support By formalizing our intent to collaborate with Boeing, we are not only deepening an already strong relationship – we are also aligning our industrial capabilities to strengthen national resilience,” states Thomas Flarup, Chief Commercial Officer at Terma.
