The aerospace company is said to be behind schedule in producing the parts due to a shortage of specialized staff and management issues. Employees have gone on strikes due to reduced benefits and the company does not have an managing director.

The upgrade of 84 F-16s from the Greek air force to the V-model could be affected as well.
