The sixth RAF Lossiemouth Poseidon is due to arrive at the Moray base in September.
The defence secretary has announced a £230 million investment in the UK’s submarine hunter fleet at RAF Lossiemouth.
The funding will create 153 jobs with more than 100 positions based in Moray.
A contract for the RAF’s Poseidon Maritime Aircraft fleet has been signed with Boeing Defence UK (BDUK).
Scottish Secretary Alister Jack said the contract award and jobs for RAF Lossiemouth is “another great example of the benefits UK defence investment brings to Scotland”.
He added: “The Moray station’s fleet of Poseidon submarine hunting aircraft are vital to maintaining the security of the UK and our NATO allies, and prosperity generated by defence employment in Scotland, alongside the UK Government’s Plan for Jobs, will help us build back better from the pandemic.”
A military contract worth £233.5 million to maintain Poseidon submarine hunting aircraft has been announced by the Ministry of Defence (MoD).
The Poseidon (P-8A) is the RAF’s maritime patrol aircraft specialising in anti-submarine warfare, identifying and tracking potentially-hostile vessels around UK waters.
The five-year contract is expected to create 107 jobs at RAF Lossiemouth in Moray, focused on aircraft maintenance and support, with a further 46 posts at sites in Bristol, Yeovil and Gosport.
Defence Secretary Ben Wallace said: “Our new Poseidon fleet continues to grow from strength to strength and is already defending the UK’s maritime interests at home and abroad.
