(a) Actual expenditure for 2022-23 for the Aircraft Hawker Jet 16-Year Mandatory Maintenance was $819,932.25.
The Government aircraft have been in service since they were leased in 2006. In 2018, a decision was made to purchase the aircraft, as lease payments were costing more than the aircraft were worth. The decision to purchase the aircraft has an estimated saving to Government of $3.2 million, compared to a continued lease.
