Saab books record orders as European defense spending rises

The company’s order momentum highlights how governments are using increased defense budgets to fund new aircraft purchases.

Reported · Written up by our desk · Europe

Saab reported record orders, as higher defense spending by European governments boosted demand for its fighter jet and related products, according to CNBC Markets.

The outlet said the surge reflects broader spending plans across the region, with public budgets increasingly translating into new bookings for European defense companies.

CNBC World similarly linked Saab’s order growth to the ramp in defense allocations that is being used to place additional orders.
