Press Release - Eurofighter Typhoon celebrates further success as the 250th aircraft is delivered

Eurofighter is the largest industrial programme in Europe and the partnership between the four Partner Nations of Germany, Italy, Spain and the UK, has led to a successful, independent aerospace industry.

Eurofighter CEO Enzo Casolini said of this achievement “This is one more important milestone for the Eurofighter Typhoon programme. The delivery of 250 aircraft ensures that the Typhoon has more aircraft in service than any other new generation multi-role fighter, showing just how effective the Eurofighter programme really is”.  

Today, Eurofighter Typhoon is the world's most advanced multi-role combat aircraft and has been regularly delivering to the four core customer nations since the first aircraft was received in 2003. In addition to the core nations, the programme's first export customer Austria received their 15th and final jet in September 2009 and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia have been taking steady delivery of Typhoon jets since June 2009.
