With this final step, the Indonesian order for 42 aircraft is complete
The final tranche of 18 Rafale for Indonesia came into force on 8 January, Dassault Aviation has announced on the same day.
The result follows the entry into force in September 2022 and August 2023 of the first and second tranches of 6 and 18 Rafale, respectively.
With this final step, the aircraft order for Indonesia under the contract signed in February 2022 to acquire 42 Rafale is now complete.
“In choosing the Rafale, Indonesia has opted for a unique tool for sovereignty and operational independence that will help consolidate its role as a major regional power. This choice also consolidates ambitious industrial and academic cooperations. We are fully committed to making this partnership a success, with a resolutely long-term vision,” said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.
