| Since then, BAE’s Eurofighter consortium – whose other members are Italy’s Finmeccanica and Airbus-maker EADS, representing Germany and Spain – has won a £2.5bn order from Oman for 12 Typhoons and eight Hawk training aircraft. But all eyes are now on three big looming contracts for South Korea, Malaysia and the UAE.
The deals will be the talk of the Paris Air Show, starting this weekend, the first big aerospace and defence jamboree since German Chancellor Angela Merkel last October kyboshed BAE’s planned £28bn merger with Airbus-maker EADS.
The show comes just days too after BAE formally unveiled Sir Roger Carr as its new chairman. He will succeed Dick Olver – the incumbent of nine years whose handling of the putative EADS deal provoked a few grenades from shareholders, not least from its biggest, Invesco Perpetual.
Typhoon is only part of BAE’s business - but a major component of its Military Air & Information (MAI) division that employs 13,500 of the group’s 88,200 staff worldwide. Selling fighter jets is also a fine guide to the complexity of big defence deals nowadays, with a growing emphasis on international markets that are not reeling from the government spending cuts hitting BAE’s core UK and US businesses.
“We are going through some quite big changes here,” says Peter Anstiss, business development director for the MAI wing. “The international market is where we are having to put a lot of effort.”
Some 60pc-70pc of the division’s sales in 2011 were with the UK Ministry of Defence, with international turnover accounting for around 25pc. “By 2016, we expect international to be 45pc-50pc of sales,” he says.
Typhoon is core to that. The current production line at Warton, whose airfield was first operated as an air depot of the US Army Air Force during the Second World War, is building another 40 latest-generation Typhoons for the Royal Air Force and the remaining 46 of a 72-strong order from Saudi Arabia, where production is continuing despite talks over price.
The Saudi contract allows for price renegotiations after the delivery of the first 24 jets and BAE has already warned that a planned £1bn share buyback depends on the outcome.
Add in the 12 fighter jets for Oman and, at a build rate of 24 jets a year, the production line extends into 2018, with the Typhoon a proper European project. Its left hand wings are made in Italy, right hand in Spain, the central fuselage in Germany and the cockpit, rear fuselage and tailfin at BAE’s Samlesbury site in Lancashire. The plane is then assembled at Warton.
Anstiss insists that being able to look out five years at Warton puts BAE in a decent position. But he knows that much is riding on the Typhoon’s international performance, not least because sales of the fighter jet tend to pull in business for the Hawk trainer.
And international business is different, with decisions made according to such things as geo-political relations between governments, the extent of investment in the local industrial base and willingness to share technical know-how with local partners.
“All of these factors play into a government’s decision to buy,” says Anstiss. “It’s not just the product. It’s not just the price. When we compete, we don’t just compete Typhoon against Rafale. We compete four nations versus France.”
That explains the lack of confidence over Typhoon landing a 36-strong aircraft order from South Korea, where the Eurofighter consortium is in a fight with Boeing’s F-15 and Lockheed Martin’s F-35 Joint Strike Fighter – though a win for the F-35 would still be a decent result for BAE. The UK group is also a major partner in the F-35, guaranteed to get about 17pc of the work should the Lockheed bid prevail.
South Korea is due to name a preferred bidder within a month, though North Korea’s sabre-rattling has persuaded analysts that the deal is likely to go to a US supplier. South Korea already has a relationship with Boeing, though some experts believe Japan’s decision to go with the F-35 could tilt the deal Lockheed’s way.
Malaysia is likely to be next up, with a shortlist of bidders for 24 aircraft, followed by UAE. BAE is the lead partner for the Eurofighter consortium on both bids and Anstiss has particularly high hopes for the Gulf where he sees “potential for 150 aircraft in the Typhoon class”. That’s on top of the Saudi and Oman contracts, with the UAE, Kuwait and Qatar all looking at their fighter jet capability.
“One independent estimate sees demand for 900 jets globally between 2012 and 2020, worth around £90bn,” says Anstiss, who has not given up on India should talks with Dassault founder. “International success could more than compensate for the reductions in the UK and the US markets.”
Warton’s local residents might need their earplugs for a while yet.

Discussions also are under way over the potential sale of Typhoons to the United Arab Emirates, Anstiss said. Kuwait and Qatar are other potential buyers, and further orders may come from Saudi Arabia, he said. Malaysia also has begun an evaluation for as many as 24 jets. Anstiss said the list of bidders could be narrowed to two this year.
