The U.S. Air Force raised the foreign military sales ceiling for the Boeing KC-46A Pegasus from $5.7 billion to $19.1 billion.
This adjustment provides contractual headroom for anticipated future sales without requiring new agreement negotiations. The move does not constitute a firm order but signals rising global demand for long-range aerial refueling.
Japan and Israel currently utilize this contract, while Qatar remains a prospective buyer. The expanded ceiling supports Boeing’s supply chain and the broader aerospace industrial base.
