The C-17 aircraft sustainment package is a contract between the United States Government and the Boeing Corporation. Through the Foreign Military Sales programme, the United Kingdom utilises this contract to support our fleet of eight C-17 aircraft. The United States Government has agreed to extend our participation in the contract for a further three years at an estimated cost of up to $250 million.
