Airbus Helicopters has signed a landmark contract with SkyAlyne, a joint venture between Canadian defense leaders CAE and KF Aerospace, to supply the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) with 19 Airbus H135 helicopters.
The contract is part of Canada's Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) program. This is the first time that Airbus helicopters will fly with the Canadian Armed Forces.
The twin-engine helicopters will be completed and delivered from the Airbus Helicopters plant in Fort Erie, Ontario, Canada. Deliveries are scheduled to begin in the first half of 2026.
' ''The acquisition of the Airbus H135 fleet for the RCAF is an important milestone for SkyAlyne and the FAcT program, as it consolidates a critical element of the program schedule,'' said Kevin Lemke, SkyAlyne senior executive.
This contract marks Airbus Helicopters' successful entry into the Canadian military market. As we celebrate 40 years of serving Canadian customers locally, we are honoured to contribute to the safety of Canadians for many years to come. said Dwayne Charette, President of Airbus Helicopters in Canada.
