PROCUREMENT OF ADVANCE JET TRAINERS


LOK SABHA

Various options for acquisition of an Advance Jet Trainer (AJT) are under examination by the Government. No contract for the AJT has been finalized. It would not be possible to lay down a time limit for such a major procurement project. However, the Government is keen on early finalization of the issue.

This information was given by the Defence Minister Shri George Fernandes in a written reply to Shri A Narendra and Shri Satyavrat Chaturvedi in Lok Sabha today.
