Boeing P-8s ordered by Norway

Norway has ordered five Boeing P-8A maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), to be delivered in 2022 and 2023, which will cost around US$1.47 billion, via the Foreign Military Sales programme. The Poseidons will replace six P-3 Orions and three Falcon 20s currently in use. Norway has decided to renew its MPA capability under its Defence Long-Term Plan, issued in 2016. The US State Department had earlier cleared the sale of five P-8s to Norway at an estimated value of US$1.75bn.
