U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said Oman agreed to buy 12 Eurofighter Typhoon fighters and eight Hawk 128 advanced trainers, both made by BAE Systems Plc.
The contract is part of a drive to secure sales of more than 100 jets to the Gulf region that could total 6 billion pounds ($9.8 billion) to British firms over coming years as Cameron puts trade at the heart of foreign policy. The deal, signed in Oman today, is valued at 2.5 billion pounds, BAE said in a statement.
