Putting a cap on the controversy following its demand for a CVC probe into Air India's decision to buy aircraft from its competitor Boeing, Kiran Rao, senior vice president (sales) of European aircraft manufacturer Airbus Industrie today said the company was not going to revisit the past as its planes have emerged as a "preferred choice" for airlines in India."What has happened has happened. Time has gone by. We are now focussed on the future. Airbus aircraft have emerged as a preferred choice for the airlines in India," Rao said when asked whether they still stood by their demand for an inquiry into the Air India board decision to select an all-Boeing fleet.Referring to the recently-concluded Paris Air Show, he said Airbus had bagged orders for supply of 320 aircraft worth $33.5 billion compared with 146 planes of Boeing worth $15.3 billion.Indian carriers led the aircraft buying spree with Air Deccan ordering 32 A-320s, Jet Airways ordering 10 A-330s with an option for another ten planes, Kingfisher Airlines' 15 aircraft including five double-decker A-380s and start-up airline Interglobe placing orders for 100 A-320s, Rao said.
