The contract is to buy four new A-330 military refueling tankers and also to refurbish five used A-330 tankers
Canada has awarded Airbus a $3.6-billion contract to buy four new A-330 military refueling tankers and also to refurbish five used A-330 tankers, the defense ministry said on Tuesday.
Canada had identified Airbus as its favored supplier for the contract in 2021. Delivery of the new and refurbished tankers – all of which will be powered by Rolls-Royce engines – will start in 2027. The new planes are designed to replace Canada’s five aging Polaris tankers, which have been in service since 1992 and cannot be operated beyond 2027.
