Rebuilding the Libyan Air Force

August 7, 2007 · Leave a Comment

Libya has an an incredible 950 aircraft platforms. Even more amazing is nearly the entire lot needs to be replaced in the next ten years. Obviously they wont buy 400 odd jets but still its going to be big bucks.

If there was ever a time to get into business it would be to set up some sort of small aero-engineering or manufacturing firm in Libya and present your self for offset deals. That is if you could fight your way through the beaucratic tape that apparently clogs all and sundry up in Libya.

It will be interesting to see what mix Libya goes for and what mix will be Russian vis-a-vis European. I dont really see the US getting in there to be honest.
