Boeing Ends Campaign for Indonesian F-15EX Fighter Jet Acquisition Amid Focus on U.S. Deliveries
Boeing has announced that it is no longer pursuing the sale of its F-15EX fighter aircraft to Indonesia. This decision was confirmed during the Singapore Airshow 2026, where a Boeing spokesperson stated that the company is now concentrating on fulfilling orders for the U.S. Air Force and expanding production capacity at its St. Louis facility. The move marks a significant shift, as Indonesia had previously shown interest in acquiring the aircraft. In August 2023, the Indonesian Ministry of Defense signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Boeing for 24 F-15EXs, known locally as the F-15IDN. This agreement was part of a broader effort to enhance Indonesia's national defense capabilities. However, the campaign has been halted, and any further clarifications are expected to come from the U.S. and Indonesian governments, as the acquisition falls under Washington's Foreign Military Sales framework.
