Next Generation Red Air - Future Opportunity

Following the release of the Defence Investment Plan and an internal review within the Next Generation Red Air team, the Authority can confirm that the delivery of Next Generation Red Air will likely be in 2031 and maybe later. It is anticipated that market engagement will take place in Q1 2027, with a Procurement Specific Questionnaire (PSQ) release in Q2 2028, and contract award in Q1 2030. The Next Generation Red Air team will continue to refine this timeline and provide the market with further clarity when possible.
