USA And the winner is KC-45A -> KC-46A

Re: And the winner is KC-45A -> KC-46A

Boeing skal få utbetalt 882 millioner $ som USAF frem til nå har holdt tilbake pga ulike problemer med 33 leverte Pegasus-tankfly. Utbetalingen gjøres for å styrke Boeing finansielt i forbindelse med koronaepidemien.

The USAF said it was in line with the current “policies to maximize cash flow, where prudent, to combat coronavirus impacts on the industry base.

Boeing tok nye $275 millioner i tap på programmet her sist kvartal, slik at de i 2020 totalt skrev av $1,2 milliarder her. Man kan jo spørre seg i etter tid om det hadde vært bedre for Boeing at Airbus vant denne

Fra Boeing's side viser det seg vel kanskje at det er sant som de sier der borte.

Selv om USAF klager på kvaliteten, så økte de for det ordreboken med 27 maskiner nå i februar

Lurer på om Boeing noengang kommer til å tjene penger på denne? Ny tapsavsetninger nå i Q1 '22, som gjør totale tap her nå $5,6 mrd

And that new KC-46 Air Force tanker charge brings the grand total of tanker write-offs since 2014 to ....

$5.6 billion

Hm. Jeg trodde det var USAF som mer eller mindre holdt liv i Boeing. Tjener de penger på noe som nå for tiden?

Re: And the winner is KC-45A -> KC-46A

Dette programmet har jo vært en økonomisk katastrofe for Boeing, men om ikke annet har de nå fått en kontrakt for å oppgradere flyene, som kanskje kan redusere tapet litt

https://www.aviation24.be/manufactu...warded-u-s-air-force-kc-46a-upgrade-contract/

Boeing will enhance the KC-46A’s advanced communications capabilities through a Block 1 upgrade under a $184 million contract awarded by the U.S. Air Force.

Nye tapsavsetninger i Q1 '23

The company also absorbed a $245 million pre-tax charge on rework related to a 767/KC-46 fuel tank quality issue that was first reported by @theaircurrent
in March.

Montro om det for Boeings aksjonærer hadde vært like greit om det var Airbus som hadde fått denne kontrakten?

Da går det mot en ny stor ordre av flere KC-46

Ending long-standing uncertainty about its immediate plans for tanker recapitalisation, the air force says it will procure up to 75 additional KC-46 jets from Boeing, rather than hold a competition for a new tanker platform.
