De Havilland Canada is pleased to announce an agreement with the Government of Canada and Export Development Canada (EDC) that will allow us to double De Havilland Canadair 515 production capacity.
The agreement will see De Havilland Canada hire new staff and invest in facilities across its Canadian sites in Victoria, Calgary, Toronto, Kitchener, and Fort Erie, also creating supply chain jobs from Newfoundland to British Columbia.
This announcement will mean more waterbombers will be produced sooner, and will create thousands of Canadian jobs, strengthening Canada’s ability to build these essential aircraft.
