Companies from around the world are competing for a maintenance contract for the Omani air force's Lockheed Martin C-130H Hercules. The bidders include Malaysia's Airod, Hellenic Aerospace Industries of Greece, the UK's Marshall Aerospace, and Singapore Technologies Aerospace (ST Aero). The competition is for a three-year contract involving three aircraft. ST Aero has a long-standing relationship with Oman, having done similar C-130 maintenance work, as well as having worked on Omani Bell UH-1 helicopters. Oman is expected to make a selection for the contract by the end of this year.
