2011 It was announced on 4 February 2011 that parts for the Joint Strike Fighter (JSF), a next generation fighter jet being built for Australia, the US, the UK and six other countries, will be manufactured at Bankstown Airport. The Boeing facility at Bankstown was to be taken over by Perth manufacturer Quickstep, who earlier in the week signed an agreement with Northrop Grumman, one of the major multi-national defence companies building the JSF. Minister for Defence Materiel Jason Clare said $10 million in assistance from the Federal Government had helped lure Quickstep to Bankstown. Around 3,000 JSFs are expected to be built over the next two decades, including at least 14 for Australia, with Quickstep contracted to supply components including access panels, fuel tank covers, aircraft skins and in-board weapons bay doors. Last year Boeing announced it will be vacating the Bankstown premises as it consolidates its Australian operations at its Melbourne facility. Source: Australian Flying website
