Boeing has reached partnerships with five Canadian aerospace companies as part of the multi-billion Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP) of Canada.

In August, Canada received three bids for the FFCP that seeks to procure 88 advanced fighter jets from Lockheed Martin, Boeing, and Saab.

Boeing offered its F/A-18 Super Hornet Block III aircraft for the project.

With the new collaborations, Boeing expects to deliver around C$61bn to boost the Canadian economy and generate around 250,000 jobs.

Boeing Canada managing director Charles Sullivan said: “Canada is one of Boeing’s most enduring partners and has continuously demonstrated that they have a robust and capable industry supporting both our commercial and defence businesses.

“The large scale and scope of these Canadian projects reinforces Boeing’s commitment to Canada and gives us an opportunity to build on our motto of promises made, promises kept.”
