Europe won't get new Canadair water bombers anytime soon, report finds

The Local Spain—European countries hoping to replace or expand their aging Canadair water-bomber fleets are unlikely to get new aircraft anytime soon, according to matching reports across The Local's Germany, France, Sweden and Spain editions. The syndicated piece points to production constraints at Canadair's current owner limiting how quickly new units can reach European operators. The shortage comes as several countries have faced active wildfire seasons requiring aerial firefighting support. The report does not specify a timeline for when new deliveries might resume.
