Boeing will close its C-17 wide-body cargo plane production line in 2015 when international production wraps up.
Despite the pending production line closure, Middle Eastern nations’ interest in the Middle East remains high. Boeing is building 13 C-17 on its own even though deals for the aircraft have not been finalized.
The remaining aircraft will likely be split between the Middle East and Asia-Pacific customers.
Saudi Arabia has expressed interest in the aircraft and India has interest in adding to its planned fleet of 10 aircraft.
