Airbus Industries - Boeing may opt out of bidding for tankers - by Dion Lefler
A Boeing Co. team met today with the US government procurement officials to discuss specifications for the Air Force's next-generation tanker, against a backdrop of reports that Boeing may drop its bid for the $100 billion contract. Aviation Week magazine reported that Boeing was considering withdrawing from the bidding process over concerns that project specifications favor a competing bid built around an Airbus model. Airbus' parent company -- the European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. --and Northrop Grumman Corp. are competing with Boeing for the contract.
