The Review Note for the Chinook extended range helicopter programme is due to be assessed by the Ministry of Defence Investment Approvals Committee in Quarter 1 2024 and will inform any future decisions affecting the current programme of record.

As the assessed costs and schedule for the programme are currently under consideration it would be inappropriate to disclose the figures and programme timelines until a full review has taken place.
