BAKU – Azerbaijan is interested in buying Seabird Aviation Jordan company’s surverillance planes, King Abdullah II Design and Development Bureau (KADDB) has said.
The Seeker SB7L-360 model, the company’s lead product, is currently used by the Jordanian air force. The planes fly at an altitude of up to 1,480 feet (around 450 meters).
Besides Azerbaijan, Seabird Aviation Jordan is reportedly in talks on selling SB7L-360 planes to Iraq, South Africa, United Arab Emirates and Tanzania, and these countries’ relevant agencies are expected to sign deals with the Jordanian company soon.
