Cpl. Chris Auger and Warrant Officer Aaron Bygrove look at a model of the Airbus CC-295, at CFB Trenton, in Trenton, Ont., on Dec. 8, 2016.The Canadian Armed Forces is refusing to accept the first of its new search-and-rescue planes from European manufacturer Airbus because of concerns with the aircraft’s manuals.
The federal government announced three years ago that it would pay Airbus $2.4-billion for 16 CC-295 aircraft, which will replace the air force’s ancient Buffalo search-and-rescue planes and an old version of the RCAF’s Hercules aircraft. The deal, which includes the option of paying Airbus another $2.3-billion to maintain and support the plane for 15 years, has been held up as one of the few major successes for Canada’s beleaguered military procurement system in recent years.
