Boeing Statement
Secretary of Defense Announces That The U.S. Air Force Now Has The Authority To Run The Tanker Competition
“We're looking forward to working with the U.S. Air Force on this very critical effort to replace America's KC-135 refueling fleet. Boeing is ready for the release of the Draft Request for Proposal, and will be looking for clarity in how the service's requirements will be defined and prioritized. Whether it's the agile, wide-body 767-based tanker or a superb large tanker in the 777, Boeing's tanker options feature maximum capability at a lower cost than our Airbus competitor.”
