Rafale Contract for
Egypt comes into force
(Saint-Cloud,
France, November 15,
2021) – The contract for the acquisition by Egypt of 30
additional Rafales to equip its air force came into force.
Announced on 4 May, this contract completes the
first acquisition of 24 Rafales, signed in 2015, and will bring to
54 the number of Rafales operated by the Egyptian Air Force, the
second in the world, after the French Air Force, to operate such a
fleet of Rafales.
It sets a new milestone in the strategic
partnership between Egypt and France, and strengthens the
historical ties forged with Dassault Aviation for nearly fifty
years. It also demonstrates the satisfaction of the Egyptian
authorities with the smooth execution of the first contract.
Finally, it confirms the technological and operational excellence
of the Rafale and its export success.
"In a demanding geopolitical context, Egypt has
chosen the Rafale to ensure its role as a key player in the
regional and international arena, in full sovereignty. This is an
honour for Dassault Aviation and its partners, who are fully
committed to meeting the expectations of the Egyptian authorities,"
said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation.
