Bombardier is proud to announce the Government of Canada has purchased six Global 6500 aircraft to perform worldwide utility flights and support missions such as aeromedical evacuations, disaster relief, humanitarian aid and national security operations. Representatives from Bombardier and the federal government celebrated this agreement today at Bombardier’s Global Aircraft Assembly Centre in the Greater Toronto Area, where the Global 6500 aircraft is assembled. Interior completion work on these aircraft will be performed in Greater Montreal.

This order is valued for Bombardier at approximately $400 million U.S., based on the current list price for the Global 6500 aircraft and the cost of military modifications.

The Royal Canadian Air Force, which has operated Bombardier Challenger aircraft since 1983, will benefit from the increased range and capability of the Global 6500 aircraft. Delivery of the first aircraft is expected by summer 2027.

Great news for the other countries that will benefit from the work they do.

That means every time a German A340 or French A330 or a British A400 comes through, we are benefiting, right?

That’s a big win for both Bombardier and Canada—those Global 6500s will make a real difference in critical missions.
