AI plans to sue offensive Airbus BYAS ANAND TIMES NEWS NETWORK[ THURSDAY, MAY 05, 2005 12:26:00 AM ] NEW DELHI: The bitter war of words over Air-India's nearly $7-billion order for Boeing jets is now cruising into legal turf. The state-owned Maharaja has sought legal options against Airbus's accusations of foul play in the deal and is planning to sue the European aircraft maker for starting a misinformation campaign against AI. "We can't let Airbus go scot-free after this misinformation campaign and allegations of tampering tender norms to suit Boeing. We've sought legal options and are planning to file a suit against Airbus," an AI official said. Airbus had claimed tender norms for ordering 50 jets were changed mid-way to give Boeing an upper hand. "We have written to the ministry of civil aviation and sought action against Airbus. Besides, we are planning to take the legal course," the official said. What began as a fight between the two traditional corporate rivals has now morphed into a no-holds-barred lobbying with even some MPs wading into the dispute. The corporate dimension of the tussle is not confined to the open fight between the two global manufacturers. Ministry sources even suspect the hand of private domestic competitors in fuelling the feud. timesofindia.indiatimes.com
