U.S. AIR FORCE TO SEEK COMPENSATION FROM BOEING
The U.S. Air Force said on Friday it would seek compensation from Boeing for its delay in delivering KC-46 aerial refueling tanker aircraft."The KC-46 contract does not contain pre-defined penalties for missing schedule deadlines," Air Force spokesman Maj. Robert Leese said in a statement. "As with any contract schedule breach, the Air Force will seek consideration commensurate with the impact of the breach...from Boeing."
