Defense is considering more fighter jets from Eindhoven air base

More fighter aircraft at the Eindhoven air base, reopening of the barracks in Budel and De Peel air base, extra helicopter flights around Oirschot and expansion of the training area there.

Defense wants to significantly expand its training options at 44 locations, writes State Secretary Christophe van der Maat. The ministry is also looking at the possibility of (re)using thirteen locations. In the region these are De Peel air base and the barracks in Budel.
