Viking purchases Bombardier’s amphibious aircraft operation(20 de Junho de 2016)
The deal includes the Bombardier CL-415 waterbomber and its variants, as well as the earlier CL-215 and CL-215T versions, Viking officials said Monday.
The transaction will see Viking acquire the manufacturing rights for all variants of Bombardier’s amphibious aircraft, and assume responsibility for product support, parts and service for the fleet of some 170 waterbombers in service with 21 operators in 11 countries around the world, Viking noted.
The work will be done at a 50,000 square foot facility in Calgary. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
“This acquisition expands Viking’s capabilities in product support and parts into another vital niche aviation segment, and ensures that a unique and important Canadian innovation stays in Canada,” David Curtis, President and Chief Executive Officer of Viking, said in a statement.
