BAE Systems Plc is confident about securing as many as 150 additional Eurofighter Typhoon jet orders from export markets as conflicts push up demand in the Middle East and Europe.

“I’m really confident,” said Richard Hamilton, managing director for Europe and International at BAE Systems Air, when asked about the likelihood of discussions turning into concrete export orders. “We see very, very real opportunities in terms of what we can do in those additional markets.”
