Last week, Vince Cable, the business secretary in the new British government, heavily criticized the supply of 14 A330MRTTs to the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a private finance initiative (PFI). He told The Sunday Times that the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft (FSTA) is “a massively expensive and unnecessary commitment.”

The £10.5 billion ($16 billion) deal was concluded by the previous Labour government and has already been criticized by the UK official watchdog agency, the National Audit Office (NAO). The first two aircraft are already under conversion by Airbus Military in Madrid.
