BA 767’s to be Recycled as Air Refuellers
It was recently announced that Boeing 767’s have won the Air Refuelling contract for the RAF, beating the Airtanker A330 bid. It seems that some ex-BA aircraft will be bought and modified, at least that’s what the media was saying prior to the contract being awarded.
Since the announcement however, I have heard nothing about the sale of 767’s. The BA share price has indeed surged, but this might be for other reasons.
Does anyone know where the aircraft will come from? Will this encourage BA to go on a spending spree to replace it’s ‘Mid-Fleet’? Will BA chose the 7E7?
Please consult your crystal balls and tell me what you see…
