Italy has
placed a follow-on order worth €300 million ($336 million) for an additional
nine Aermacchi M-346 advanced jet trainers.
The deal doubles the number of Honeywell F124-powered
aircraft ordered for the Italian air force, which uses the designation T-346A.
Delivery of the new trainers is to begin this year and will be complete by
2018.

The contract also includes
logistics support and a further, unspecified development effort for a wider
integrated training system. The latter includes the digital training aids and
simulators located at Lecce-Galatina air base.
A total of 68 M-346s have now
been ordered by four nations: Italy (18), Israel (30), Poland (8) and Singapore
(12).
