Saab reveals industrial details of Gripen offer to Canada

Saab has presented a comprehensive plan for supplying Canada with Gripen E/F fighter aircraft, outlining key aspects of the proposed deal at the Canadian Aerospace Summit in Ottawa. The Swedish airframer intends to collaborate with three local partners – CAE, IMP and Magellan Aerospace – to manage production, final assembly, and ongoing sustainment activities. These companies will play a crucial role in adapting the Gripen design to meet specific Canadian requirements and operational needs. Saab’s proposal focuses on establishing a robust industrial base within Canada, fostering long-term partnerships and ensuring the fleet's maintenance capabilities. This initiative represents a significant step towards potentially modernizing Canada’s aerospace defense sector.
