TORONTO (AP) — Canada will buy early warning radar planes built by Sweden's Saab and Canada's Bombardier over two American options, Prime Minister Mark Carney announced Wednesday.
Carney said his government has entered negotiations to procure Saab's Airborne Early Warning & Control Aircraft, which is built on the Canadian-manufactured Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft and will support domestic production.
Carney also noted it is made with 20% U.S. content. The federal government has previously said it's in the market for six radar aircraft.
