Sør-Korea går for A330 MRTT

Nok engang så stikker A330 av med seieren over 767 når det kommer til valg av tankfly. Siste ute er Sør Korea med en ordre på 4 maskiner

Airbus Defence and Space is greatly honored for the A330 Multi Role Tanker Transport, powered by Rolls-Royce, to be selected by the Republic of Korea as its future air-to-air refuelling and transport aircraft after an open and objective competition.

Boeing og deres 767 tanker, kalt KC-46 Pegasus har riktignok langt flere ordre pga gigantkontrakten med US Air Force, som Boeing riktignok trengte to forsøk og politisk innblanding for og klare vinne :rolleyes:

Samtlige andre lands tankflykontrakter de siste årene hvor det har stått mellom A330 og 767, så har førstnevnte gått av med seieren

Royal Australian Air Force har også valgt A330 MRTT...
The Royal Australian Air Force (ASY, Richmond, QL) will acquire two A330-200s from Qantas (QF, Sydney Kingford Smith) later this year ahead of their conversion into KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport aircraft at Airbus Defence and Space’s Madrid Getafe, Spain facility. The jets - VH-EBH (cn 892) and VH-EBI (cn 898) - are currently leased from CIT Aerospace.

"The two additional KC-30A aircraft will be delivered in 2018 and provide a substantial increase to the air-to-air refuelling capacity of the RAAF," the Australian Department of Defence said in a statement. “The RAAF decided to use these particular aircraft as they are extremely close to the same basic specification as the KC-30As already in service.”

Once conversion is complete, the two aircraft will join the RAAF's existing fleet of five A330 MRTTs.
