Voyager's transport and tanker duties compete for limited aircraft

Voyager's combined transport and refuelling workload leads to criticism of the contract's constraint on fleet size.

Notes

Voyager serves both as a tanker and as a transport, giving the fleet a heavy workload. More airframes are proposed for those combined tasks. The public-private finance contract is criticised for limiting the available aircraft, although the discussion does not examine its detailed terms.
