CVC IN INDIA PROBES AIRBUS FOLLOWING NON DELIVERY TO FLYINGTON

India’s anti-corruption body, the Central Vigilance Commission has begun a probe into Airbus for indulging in alleged “unfair business practices”. The CVC has registered a complaint it received from Hyderabad based Flyington Freighters that charged EADS/Airbus with non delivery of aircraft resulting in loss of business to the company. The firm has been demanding action against the aviation firm under the Competition Act. It charges Airbus for using its order for 12 A-330-200 cargo aircraft to pitch for the USAF tanker contract and then delay its deliveries by three years. EADS North America first bagged the contract in early 2008
