Boeing To Protest $35B Air Force Tanker Award

WASHINGTON (AP) ― Boeing Co. says it will formally protest a $35 billion Air Force tanker award it lost.

European Aeronautic Defence and Space Co. and Northrop Grumman Corp. won the high-stakes deal to replace 179 air-to-air refueling tankers. The award is the first of three major Air Force contracts to replace its entire fleet of nearly 600 aging tankers over the next 30 years.

Chicago-based Boeing says it will file its protest on Tuesday with the Government Accountability Office.
