Boeing withdraws from India aerial refueling tanker contest

Boeing has decided not to take part in India’s tender for an aerial refueling tanker as it wants to concentrate on the KC-X contest.

Boeing Vice President for Defense, Space and Security in India Dr Vivek Lall told India Strategic defense magazine that his company can only determine its participation in international procurements after the KC-X competition is over. The deadline for India’s submission was on Jan. 12.
