Airbus offered the KC-30, based on the Airbus 330-300, which normally sells for $160 million each. The KC-30 carries 20 percent more fuel than the other candidate, the KC-767, plus more cargo pallets (26 versus 19) and passengers. Thus the KC-30 can stay in the air longer, while transferring more fuel.

boeing vp addressed this issue last Friday, the larger load was not part of specs and specs specifics were not ability to carry passengers. boeing could have provided a different plane if they wanted larger plane.
