Canadair (Bombardier)

Canadair, originally a Canadian aircraft manufacturer, became well-known for its production of military and firefighting aircraft, particularly the CL-215 and CL-415 water bombers used to combat wildfires. Bombardier, which acquired Canadair in the late 1980s, expanded its portfolio to include business jets, regional and commuter aircraft, and aerospace technology. The brand's reputation is built on innovative, reliable aircraft that serve commercial, military, and emergency response markets. Today, Bombardier continues to be a prominent name in aerospace, renowned for designing advanced aircraft systems, though the Canadair name is primarily associated with its firefighting aircraft heritage.
