Extending Aircraft Life (EAL) 

The main focus of the Extending Aircraft Life (EAL) program is to increase the national and global supply chain opportunities for companies seeking work in all aspects of aircraft maintenance, repair & overhaul (military aircraft), advanced maintenance, upgrades, condition and health monitoring. The Extending Aircraft Life program will also focus on opportunities arising from related research and development programs.

An Extending Aircraft Life (EAL) Capability Directory has been produced to support the initiative and to promote both the industry sector and company capabilities.

In conjunction with industry, the Department of Defence and Austrade, the department is facilitating both inward and outward missions to demonstrate Australian EAL capabilities with a primary focus on opportunities in South East Asia.

Some 45 Australian firms and research agencies are participating in the Extending Aircraft Life program.
