DTN News: India Mulls Boeing Globemaster III Deal....NSI News Source Info # 1148(NSI News Source Info) NEW DELHI, India - October 21, 2010: India and Boeing remained locked in negotiations for the former's purchase of as many as 10 military transport aircraft by Dec. 15.
India's indecision led to the cancellation of a previous contract for the purchase of A330-based refueling tankers from Airbus last December. The same program was rebid last month.
"On the basis of our experience, we are thoroughly analyzing and reviewing the situation," Barbara Kracht, vice president of communications at Airbus Military was quoted saying in Aviation Week.
Boeing is also said to have the request for proposals from the Indian government. It hasn't taken any decision yet. If it does agree, Vivek Lall, head of Boeing Defense Space and Security in India, was quoted saying, then the defense aerospace giant could offer a variant of the KC-767 Tanker Transport.
