OTTAWA – Airbus has announced that it has signed separate agreements regarding collaboration in Canada’s defence industry with CAE Inc., along with L3Harris Technologies and RTX’s Pratt & Whitney Canada.
Airbus says aligning with the three companies will bring expertise across propulsion, reconnaissance and simulation and will have a focus on rotary-wing solutions for Canadian defence requirements.
Dwayne Charette, president of Airbus Helicopters in Canada, says the agreements reflect a shared commitment to supporting Canada’s future mission needs while strengthening the aerospace and defence ecosystem.
France Hébert, vice-president and general manager at CAE Defense & Security, Canada and International, says CAE brings advanced training and mission support expertise.
Earlier this month, flight simulator maker CAE reported a drop in profits for the fourth quarter, noting the Iran war is poised to continue hammering its bottom line, as it scales back its footprint abroad to cut costs.
The turmoil in the Persian Gulf is “having a month-by-month impact” on bookings and sales, CEO Matthew Bromberg said at the time.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published May 28, 2026.
