F-35 Aircraft: Procurement

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what is the estimated timeline for all the F-35As to enter service.

Answer

I refer the hon. Member to the Answer I gave him on 13 July 2026 to Question 16066.

The exact delivery profile and date of F-35 aircraft is subject to negotiation between the UK and multinational Joint Program Office, but the UK anticipates taking delivery of the next batch of F-35 aircraft from the early 2030s.
