<p>The schedule for delivery of our aircraft was a key part of our contractual negotiations
with Boeing and, as part of the due diligence process, it was subjected to scrutiny
and a thorough risk assessment. Consequently, we are confident that the agreed average
24-month modification schedule accurately reflects the expected duration for a project
of this nature and scope. Boeing has identified an experienced team to manage the
modification programme to ensure it is successful. For this project, Boeing has recruited
individuals with a wealth of experience from previous E-7 modification programmes
from the US and Australia, who have been involved in all the previous customer programmes.
Throughout the project there will, of course, be regular reviews to monitor progress
and ensure that it remains on track.</p>
