S. Korea to receive airborne early warning aircraft in July

SEOUL, March 2 (Yonhap) -- U.S. aircraft maker Boeing Co. will deliver the first of four airborne early warning aircraft to South Korea's Air Force in July, a company official said Wednesday, a move that would beef up the South's surveillance capabilities over North Korea.



Boeing won a US$1.6 billion order in 2006 to sell four Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) planes to South Korea. The three remaining aircraft are expected to be delivered to South Korea by the end of 2012.
