Voyager Aircraft
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment his Department has made of the value for money of the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft contract since its commencement in 2008.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The RAF Voyager fleet provides value for money by serving as a versatile asset for air-to-air refuelling, strategic airlift, and VIP transport.
Under the Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contract, Air Tanker is required to provide the Department with their performance data.
This gives the Department complete transparency, ensuring regular monitoring and compliance with the terms of the agreement.
