JetSupport, in partnership with PAL Aerospace, is pleased to be awarded a contract to provide and support aircraft and maritime surveillance services for the Netherlands Coast Guard. This new contract, executed under the authority of the Defense Material Organization of the Ministry of Defense of the Netherlands, will allow JetSupport and PAL Aerospace to modify and deliver two fully missioned DHC-8 aircraft, provide training to the crew in all systems and support the operation of the aircraft for an initial period of ten years with the option to extend for two additional periods of one year.

"Winning this contract in association with PAL Aerospace confirms our status as the leading provider of technical services and support solutions for the aerospace industry in the Netherlands," explained Ton van Deursen, Managing Director of JetSupport. "We are delighted to be part of the team selected to deliver these vital aircraft and we look forward to continuing our support to the Netherlands Coast Guard in this essential operation for the next decade."

The tasks of the aircraft will include support for search and rescue, law enforcement and surveillance activities, as well as other missions such as "out of area" deployments in support of FRONTEX. 

"PAL Aerospace's partnership with JetSupport on this vital project consolidates our presence in the European intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance market and deepens our relationship with the Netherlands," said Jake Trainor , CEO of the PAL Group of Companies.
