New Zealand Receives First P-8A Poseidon
New Zealand recently received the first of four Boeing P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft in a ceremony. The milestone comes four years after the New Zealand Government entered into an agreement with the U.S. Navy for the P-8A.
The P-8 is a long-range anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance aircraft capable of broad-area, maritime and littoral operations. It also performs humanitarian and search and rescue missions around the world.
“Delivery of the P-8A will ensure New Zealand maintains a patrol and response capability that will support law enforcement in our Exclusive Economic Zone and the Southern Ocean,” said Sarah Minson, acting Deputy Secretary Capability Delivery, New Zealand Ministry of Defence. “The P-8A will also assist our South Pacific necessary and deliver long-range search and rescue capability.”
New Zealand’s three remaining P-8 aircraft are all in the advanced stages of production and will be delivered in 2023. The aircraft will replace the country’s current fleet of six P-3K2 Orions and will be based at Royal New Zealand Air Force Base Ohakea.
Boeing Defence Australia will provide sustainment services for New Zealand’s fleet with the support of the P-8 International Programme. The global operating P-8 fleet has amassed more than 450,000 mishap-free flight hours.
