A substantial part of this contract will
involve BAE Systems, Rolls-Royce and other UK companies.
The airlines and armed forces of the world who buy-in aircraft and services from aerospace manufacturers are themselves, very often, large
organizations. For example British Airways our own national carrier, even after recent downsizing, employs around 50,000 personnel. UK airlines, in the year 2000, employed in total, just over 12,000 aircraft maintenance and overhaul personnel. Even after the events that took
