Colombia and Saab are renegotiating the contract for the country’s purchase of JAS 39 Gripen aircraft, the head of the Colombian Air Force says, according to Sveriges Radio.
Colombia’s president Abelardo de la Espriella has wanted to review the agreement since taking office this summer; it was signed under his predecessor.
The air force chief does not want to disclose which parts of the contract are now being renegotiated. Under the previous agreement, Colombia was to purchase 17 Gripen aircraft from Saab for SEK 34 billion.
