The International Air Transport Association last week cut its estimate of the 2009 industry loss to $US9.4 billion from December's $US11 billion and said airlines are recovering strongly from the crisis, as passengers, freight and pricing power return. Hamilton said the improved industry outlook also reduces the chance that Boeing will need to cut production rates on its hot selling single aisle 737 plane. But another expert, Richard Aboulafia at the Teal Group, said it is too soon to say that demand for new planes has recovered. "There's still a lot of overcapacity, so any talk of rate increases is kind of aggressive at this point," Mr Aboulafia said

The company's overall military business was hit harder than any major contractor by cuts in weapons programs last year, and its efforts to create new Army combat systems and defenses against missile systems have been scaled back. The tanker contract also comes as Boeing's newest commercial planes, the 787 Dreamliner and the 747 8 freighter, have finally shaken lengthy delays and entered flight testing, raising hopes for lucrative returns as the economy recovers."There's a lot of ground to be made up and a lot of uncertainty still out there," said Richard Aboulafia, an aviation analyst at the Teal Group in Fairfax, Va. But Boeing's airplane operations "are definitely on the mend," he added

Last month, the government issued a new request for proposals. Boeing said last week that it would again enter the tanker contest and again offer a version of its 767 wide body commercial aircraft. So far, Boeing is the only candidate. Bidders must submit responses by . Although there is technically still time for another bidder to emerge, aerospace industry analyst Richard Aboulafia of Teal Group in said that prospect is unlikely given the deadline and the amount of work involved in preparing a bid.

Thompson said any solo bid by EADS would be a "face saving, but money losing proposition," noting that the actual cost of submitting a bid was likely to be around $100 million and it was unclear if EADS would be considered a qualified bidder. Richard Aboulafia, defense analyst with the Teal Group, said a solo EADS bid would provide "the momentary illusion of competition," but said the RFP and political forces still appeared to be skewed against a European bid.

Bombardier Inc.'s $3.06 billion order for its new CSeries jetliner may add pressure on the only larger planemakers to offer more fuel efficient engines for their competing models, the Boeing Co. 737 and Airbus SAS A320. "This is a solid hit for the CSeries," said Richard Aboulafia, an analyst at Teal Group in Fairfax, Virginia. It "will almost certainly precipitate" a decision by Airbus and Boeing on offering new engines for their single aisle aircraft. Airbus, based in Toulouse, France, and Chicago based Boeing have said they plan to decide this year whether to offer upgraded engines as they defend a combined backlog of about 4,500 of the so called narrowbody models
