Through these new extensions, Marshall will continue to build on two of its oldest C-130 MRO relationships: Norway first became a customer in 1977 and Denmark in 1986.

Both air forces currently operate four C-130J aircraft, support for which has been jointly negotiated since 2012 under a collaborative procurement process between the Danish and Norwegian defence logistics organisations.

The latest agreement will add two years to the current contract period, with options for further extension possible.

Chris Dare, MRO Services and Solutions Director, Marshall: “We are delighted to extend our support for both the Royal Danish Air Force and Royal Norwegian Air Force.

“We will continue to cultivate these long-standing relationships, working with the evolving needs of both customers as we provide high-quality, low-risk depth maintenance with industry-leading turnaround times.”

In order to maximise operational readiness of all eight Hercules C-130J aircraft, Marshall will continue to conduct a range of depth maintenance predominantly comprising C, C2 and D checks at its facility in Cambridge, UK.

The RDAF fleet plays a vital role in Danish foreign and domestic politics, supporting Danish troops around the world as well as the outposts in the Arctic region ranging all the way up to Greenland’s Station Nord, roughly 600 miles from the North Pole.

Similarly, the RNoAF aircraft support a multitude of tactical mission requirements including personnel and equipment transport, humanitarian operations, medical airlift, special operations, cold weather operations and natural disaster relief.

Marshall delivers high-quality MRO services and solutions for customers around the world, having built unrivalled experience on the C-130 platform since 1966.
