The multi-year agreement covers entry into service and sustainment for all 12 aircraft to be operated by the Turkish Air Force, including scheduled maintenance, spares and tooling.

Marshall will also provide training to enable the customer to build up an indigenous capability on the C-130J platform.

In partnership with the UK Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Export & Sales (E&S), Marshall supported the resale process as the Principal Retail Partner for these aircraft, while conducting ongoing anti-deterioration maintenance and storage at its facility in Cambridge, UK.

In addition to the scheduled maintenance, Marshall will have completed centre wing box replacements on each of the 12 airframes prior to the aircraft entering into service with the Turkish Air Force.
