The Communauté régionale de la Broye (COREB), the Association for the protection of the interests of the Broyard municipalities affected by the Payerne military aerodrome (ASIC) and 14 municipalities had filed preventive oppositions. Much of the real estate infrastructure at Payerne, Meiringen and Emmen air bases can be reused for the F-35A’s engagement, because its dimensions are similar to those of the F/A-18. Adaptations are necessary at the level of the training infrastructure, technical installations and safety devices. For construction measures, Parliament approved a commitment appropriation of 120 million francs as part of the 2022 army message. Concepts and planning for the infrastructure adaptation to the F-35A have been prepared and verified in detail over the past twelve months in collaboration with the U.S. government’s F-35 project office, the F-35 Lightning II Joint Program Office, and manufacturers Lockheed Martin and Pratt & Whitney. The planning work for the implementation of the infrastructure has now been successfully completed.
