Conair signs purchase agreement for six Q400 aircraft for conversion into Q400 Multirole airtankers

Bombardier Specialized Aircraft has released that Conair Group, a leading provider of fixed wing aerial firefighting aircraft, has purchased six Q400 aircraft. Conair operates the largest fleet of privately owned fixed wing airtankers and supplies specialty aerial firefighting aircraft and products worldwide. These six Q400 production aircraft will be modified to incorporate an enhanced version of Conair’s proprietary Retardant Delivery System. In the Q400 Multirole configuration, the retardant tank can be removed and reinstalled in the field in a few hours. This enables the aircraft to efficiently perform additional roles in emergency response, passenger and cargo transport, medivac, and coastal patrol without compromising its exceptional firefighting capabilities.
