The award recognises Boeing’s best practices in supporting the aircraft since the 1990s, particularly through the Avionics Upgrade Program (AUP) and follow on upgrade programs for the RAAF which, since 1997, has been the sole operator of the complex, ageing aircraft. “The successful rollout of these projects and new technologies exemplifies the BDA engineering team’s professionalism and innovation,” said John Duddy, managing director and vice president of BDA. “We are honoured to be recognised for our efforts.”
