What would be going on for an airline to do circuits at CFB Trenton?
Re: Voyageur @ YTR
Manned airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance
Project description
The MAISR project provides Canada with an airborne intelligence surveillance reconnaissance (ISR) capability that will enhance the ability of our Canadian Armed Forces to identify potential threats to Canadian security and sovereignty.
Acquisition and associated mission systems
Through the United States Foreign Military Sales program, the Government of Canada acquired 3 Beechcraft King Air 350ER aircraft with associated integration of mission systems on April 26, 2019. In August 2020, the US government awarded a contract to L3Harris-Integrated Mission Systems (Greenville, TX) to begin the integration of the prime missions systems into the aircraft.
As of June 4, 2024, the 3 aircraft have been fully integrated and delivered to the Government of Canada.
In-service support and maintenance
On August 31, 2020, following extensive engagement with industry, a Request for Proposal: MAISR—In-Service Support Services was published on CanadaBuys to provide in-service support to maintain the new fleet of aircraft for a potential 22.5 year period.
On May 13, 2021, the Government of Canada announced an 8-year in-service support and maintenance contract to Team CERTAS, consisting of General Dynamics Mission Systems–Canada (from Ottawa, Ontario) and Voyageur Aviation Corporation (from North Bay, Ontario). The estimated contract value is $72 million.

Re: Voyageur @ YTR
Thank you. I see Voyageur is responsible for in-service support and maintenance ...just funny it comes up as Voyageur Airways when I think the aircraft are owned by the RCAF,
