Since entry into service, 15 Eurofighter Typhoons of the Austrian Armed Forces have completed a total of 5,000 flying hours. In the last few years Austria has successfully used this European interceptor aircraft several times for air surveillance duties and for safeguarding its territorial sovereignty.

On behalf of the Eurofighter consortium and its Eurofighter Partner Companies, Eurofighter CEO, Enzo Casolini, congratulated the Austrian Armed Forces for this impressive performance: "We would like to thank our competent partners in Austria for the excellent cooperation and adhere to our common objective, to optimise the proven cooperation over the next years."
