Air tanker fleet is hit by credit crunch

It looks like the FSTA project is finally facing the harsh reality of life!

Air tanker fleet is hit by credit crunch - The Times 7 Oct 07

Details of the financing were revealed last week by Thomson’s Project Finance International, a financial publication. It said the programme, called Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) “hangs in the balance”. Its report said that a plan for a group of banks to provide the loans came unstuck when they raised the price because of the credit crunch.

Cue Beagle!
