In February 2016, Affinity, an Elbit Systems 50:50 joint venture with Kellog, Brown and Root (KBR), was awarded a UK military flight training contract. Revenue for the programme is expected to be £500 million over an 18 year period.
The Elbit Systems CEO stated, "The United Kingdom is one of Elbit Systems' primary markets. The award of the contract to deliver this key programme for the UK's armed forces is a significant recognition of our proven ability to adapt and deliver innovative global solutions to meet the specific needs of the UK market and customer" (Elbit press release, 2.2.2016)
