CAE team expands KC-135 training

With a new eight-year extension to its KC-135 training service contract, CAE USA becomes the only incumbent to win a major aircrew training service re-compete in the last decade.

The USAF has awarded Tampa-based CAE USA a contract to continue providing KC-135 Stratotanker training services.

The eight-year contract, announced on 11 January as a one-year base contract with seven additional one-year option periods, is valued at more than $275 million.

CAE USA became the prime contractor on the programme in 2010 and it has now won the competitive re-compete to allow it to continue delivering classroom and simulator training for KC-135 pilots and air refuelling boom operators.

The contract was expected to be awarded last September but due to time constraints, the USAF could not assess bids.
