According to rumors that emerged recently in the Spanish press, the
Philippines as well as several Arab countries have expressed interest in
purchasing the former Spanish Navy Aircraft Carrier Principe de
Asturias.
In case of a sale, the contract would include refit and upgrading of the vessel by Spanish shipyard Navantia.
It is reported that Indonesia already expressed interest in the vessel earlier this year. Following an official visit by TNI AL (Indonesian Navy) delegation to the El Ferrol naval base however, Indonesia decided not to purchase the aircraft carrier.
