Boeing Ends Indonesia F-15EX Push After Two Years Without a Deal

Boeing announced the move at the Singapore Airshow, with explanations left to U.S. and Indonesian officials.

Overview

  • The paused effort stemmed from a 2023 memorandum of understanding for up to 24 jets that never advanced to a formal contract.
  • Indonesia’s aircraft were planned as a customized F-15EX variant referred to in reporting as F-15IDN, F-15ID, or F-15IND.
  • The proposed sale had U.S. State Department clearance in 2022 under the Foreign Military Sales framework.
  • Boeing provided no reason for ending the campaign and directed questions to the two governments involved.
  • Jakarta’s fighter modernization continues through other paths, including Rafale deliveries and a deal to acquire 48 Turkish KAAN jets.
