De Havilland Canada and the European Union (EU) have concluded negotiations for the procurement of a fleet of 22 newly produced C-515 firefighting amphibious aircraft. 

In addition to this deal, and in response to the strong recognition the historical Canadair brand enjoys in Europe, De Havilland Canada also announced that this model of aircraft will be changed from the DHC-515 Firefighter to the De Havilland Canadair 515. 

“When people are close to a wildfire in Europe, they ask when the Canadairs will come to help protect their community,” De Havilland Canada CEO Brian Chafe said on October 4, 2024.
