Boeing:
Study Projects That As Oil Prices Climb, 767 Tanker Most Cost
Efficient ST. LOUIS, March 17, 2008 -- Boeing [NYSE: BA] reports that the U.S. Air Force likely would pay up to $30 billion more in fuel bills over 40 years to operate a fleet of 179 Airbus A330-200 aerial refueling tankers, compared to a similar number of tankers based on the Boeing 767-200ER. This
assessment is based on a Conklin & de Decker Aviation Information
study, funded by Boeing, that calculated the Air Force's cost
with oil at $100 per barrel and $125 per barrel. Oil prices
hit a record high last week above $110 a barrel, and many analysts
expect prices to continue climbing. . The study also factored in estimated costs of refining, transportation, storage, handling and fueling the aircraft. It concluded the estimated price per gallon at $3.11 with oil costing $100 per barrel would cost the Air Force about $25 billion dollar more over the 40-year service life of 179 Airbus A330-200 tankers, and $29.8 billion more with oil at $125 a barrel. The Air Force previously estimated that it pays an additional $600 million a year for each $10 per barrel increase. In January, Boeing funded and released a 53-page study by Conklin & de Decker that showed Boeing's 767 airplane consumed 24 percent less fuel than the larger A330 and would save about $14.6 billion in fuel costs over 40 years. The study used published data to calculate the fuel consumption of flying a fleet of 179 767-200ER and Airbus A330-200 aircraft over a 40-year service life. The Air Force's Request for Proposal called for a highly capable, medium-sized, low-risk and low-cost refueling tanker to replace its aging fleet of KC-135 tankers. On Feb. 29, the Air Force selected Northrop Grumman-EADS to build 179 next-generation A330 tankers. In briefing Boeing on their decision, Air Force evaluators acknowledged that they placed little value on fuel and maintenance lifecycle costs, despite paying $6.6 billion on aviation fuel in 2006. Boeing has filed a formal protest with the Government Accountability Office, asking the agency to review the Air Force's decision. "Based upon what we have seen, we continue to believe we submitted the most capable, the lowest risk and lowest cost airplane as measured against the Air Force's Request for Proposal," said Mark McGraw, vice president, Boeing Tanker Programs. "This latest estimate in increased life-cycle costs for the Airbus plane adds to our fundamental concerns with the Air Force's evaluation and decision."

The president spoke hours after North Korea submitted its long-awaited declaration detailing its nuclear weapons activities. The government said that it would blow up the cooling tower at its nuclear facility on television and turned over documents to China about its plutonium core and waste activities. "Today is a positive day and it's a positive step forward," Bush said from the White House Rose Garden. "My point is this: we'll see. They said they are going to destroy parts of their plant in Pyongyang. That's a very positive step." But Bush added, "We will trust you only to the extent that you fulfill your promises. I'm pleased with the progress there are no illusions this is the first step." Source: Foxnews |
