Since August 2016, the RAF Typhoon fleet has been supported through the Typhoon Total Availability eNterprise contract (TyTAN). This is based on contracting for availability and provides sufficient spare parts to support the current forward available fleet and operational plan.

Typhoon EJ200 engines continue to be supported by the Partnered Support Operational Phase 3 (PSOP3) availability contract.

The current level of spare parts for the Typhoon fleet remains at a sufficient level to support the TyTAN and PSOP3 contracts and is shown below. The spares inventory will fluctuate over time as availability is proactively managed.
