The Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) has signed a new contract for the purchase of three additional training aircraft of the type SK 40, which are used for basic flight training within the Swedish Air Force. The order, which also includes a spare engine and training aids, is expected to be delivered during the first quarter of 2025, FMV states in a press release.

The original contract with Grob Aircraft SE was signed in 2021 and included ten aircraft, a simulator, and associated training systems. The contract also includes the purchase of a spare engine, more training aids, and planning tools. With this expansion, the Swedish Air Force will have a total of 13 aircraft, which increases availability and strengthens training capacity.
