SINGAPORE—Boeing has officially given up on its effort to sell new F-15s to Indonesia after the expected deal has languished for more than two years, the company said Feb. 3.
Jakarta first began pursuing the aircraft in 2021 and said one year later it would buy 24 of the Eagle IIs—identified by the Defense Security and Cooperation Agency as the F-15ID. Since then, there has not been movement to formalize the buy.
Bernd Peters, vice president of business development and strategy for Boeing Defense, Space and Security, deferred questions on the specifics of the effort to the governments of Indonesia and the U.S. because of the foreign military sales process.
“I will tell you it is no longer an active campaign for the Boeing company,” Peters told reporters at the Singapore Airshow.
Boeing is still committed to working with Indonesia on existing programs like the country’s AH-64 fleet, Peters said.
More broadly on the F-15 program, Boeing is focused on increasing its production pace to 24 F-15EXs per year for the U.S. Air Force. Deliveries resumed in December 2025 following production delays, with a strike at Boeing’s St. Louis facility halting work from Aug. 4 to Nov. 17. F-15EX No. 16 was delivered in December.
Boeing on Jan. 31 received a $2.8 billion award for upgrades to South Korea’s F-15K fleet, with work expected to be completed in 2037.
Despite the Indonesia program ending, “We feel the F-15 will continue to have a very bright future in the region,” Peters said.
