Canada Partners with L3Harris MAS for CF-35 Maintenance
The Government of Canada has selected L3Harris MAS as its strategic partner for CF-35A fighter jet airframe maintenance. This collaboration involves the Canadian government and the F-35 Joint Program Office to set up an airframe depot, enhancing Canada's aerospace in-service support capability. The project could contribute over $425 million annually to GDP and create nearly 3,300 jobs over 25 years. L3Harris MAS, with experience in CF-188 Hornet maintenance, will leverage its industrial network for managing CF-35A depot tasks.
