Airbus Scam $ 175 million – No Permission to prosecute six Civil Aviation officials regarding purchase of 43 aircrafts

Airbus Scam $ 175 million – No Permission to prosecute six Civil Aviation officials regarding purchase of 43 aircrafts

Year 2005
Purchase of 43 Aircraft
In September 2005 the deal was finalized when an Empowered Group of Ministers had given its permission after Airbus agreed to set-up the facilities along with the supply of 43 aircraft.
It is alleged that in this deal scam or say corruption happened because of which Indian Citizens suffered the loss.



Year 2007 –
CBI registered a Preliminary Enquiry in the matter and had started probing the deal

Year 2008 - CBI wanted government permission to register a case against six Civil Aviation officials including a Joint Secretary for alleged irregularities in the over Rs 8,000-crore Airbus deal for supplying 43 aircraft to Indian Airlines.

The CBI completed its preliminary enquiry into the Airbus procurement deal in 2011.
The CBI's preliminary enquiry revealed that the negotiations panel failed to get a $ 175 million concession from Airbus.

In November 2011 Ministry refused the permission to prosecute.
After that again CBI wrote back explaining why a case is made out and
Why sanction should be given,

Year 2012 –
The Ministry of Civil Aviation once again refused to grant sanction to
The CBI to prosecute six people who were responsible for signing a deal with Airbus to procure 43 aircraft for Air India (AI) and cause a loss to the exchequer.


CBI does not come under right to information act.

Thus it’s difficult to get the names of six people who are accused in this case.

The above alleged scam again proves that we Need Jan Lokpal bill.

Also CBI should come under the right to information act.

Lets see the people who go to the High Court and control the people habits and liking as well as freedom to read , see and decide.

Lets see anyone now goes to High Court or Supreme Court in this matter.
