PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 29, 2025 - Boeing [NYSE: BA] will produce four additional MH-139A Grey Wolf helicopters and provide related sustainment for the U.S. Air Force, marking its second production contract for the aircraft in five months. Following a $173 million award for eight aircraft in September, this recent contract increases the total value of the award to more than $262 million dollars.
"The quick succession of contracts demonstrates that the U.S. Air Force is all in on bringing the MH-139A capability to the warfighter as quickly as possible," said Azeem Khan, director, MH-139 program. "Our team is dedicated to delivering and maintaining these aircraft, driven by a commitment to excellence, where safety and quality are our top priorities."
This new order raises the total number of MH-139A aircraft under contract to 38. To date, 21 Grey Wolf aircraft have been delivered to the Air Force, including 12 that are part of the low-rate initial production contract awarded in 2023.
Based off the proven Leonardo Helicopters AW139 and fitted with custom military equipment by Boeing, the MH-139A is a multi-mission helicopter designed for patrol, search and rescue, and troop and cargo transport. Between Boeing and Leonardo, the program supports over a thousand jobs in the Philadelphia region and across the U.S.
