GAO report may force Air Force to give Boeing another tanker bid

The Air Force says it's reviewing the report from the Government Accountability Office that found "significant errors" in awarding an air tanker contract using Airbus planes.

WASHINGTON —

The Air Force says it's reviewing the report from the Government Accountability Office that found "significant errors" in awarding an air tanker contract using Airbus planes.

Boeing protested the decision, and today's GAO decision in favor of Boeing puts pressure on the Air Force to reopen the bidding.

Boeing could capture part or all of a new contract.

The GAO report also gives ammunition to Boeing supporters in Congress who control spending.
