As Canada\u0027s prime minister wraps up a busy summer in the air, the RCAF will soon unveil new transport aircraft to replace aging fleet.
As Canada’s prime minister wraps up a busy summer racking up mileage on government aircraft, the Royal Canadian Air Force is potentially just weeks away from introducing new transport aircraft that promises to make overseas VIP flights faster and easier.
That was followed a few weeks later with a four-day visit to Latvia and Lithuania from July 9 to 13, meeting with military leaders and to take part in a NATO summit. Canada’s Polaris fleet were originally civilian airliners for Wardair, and sold to the RCAF in the early ’90s after the now-defunct carrier was absorbed into Canadian Airlines.One of those aircraft, 330002, arrived in Canada earlier this month and is expected to enter service later this fall as Canada’s primary executive transport aircraft for the prime minister and Governor General.
Under Canada’s Strategic Tanker Transport Capability project, tanker-configured Huskies will support Canadian and allied missions to fulfil obligations under Norad, and are capable of keeping six CF-18s fully fuelled during a transatlantic crossing. That same plane spent months undergoing repairs in 2019 after it rolled away from crews at CFB Trenton and collided nose-first into a wall.
