Canada approves $2.5 billion to boost Super Scooper water bomber output

On 7 November, the Canadian federal government approved up to $2. 5 billion in loans and loan guarantees for De Havilland Canada, enabling a second assembly line and raising the annual output of the DHC-515 water-scooping aircraft to 20 units.

The approval built on an earlier announcement on 30 October that the government would provide the same amount of financing to fund a second production line for the Super Scooper. Officials said the package, which also involves Export Development Canada, is expected to create roughly 1,200 new jobs.
