A Canadian leader in aerial firefighting

Since 2019, Babcock has provided a turn-key aerial firefighting capability for the Manitoba government, protecting the natural resources, people, and communities across the province.

This includes the management and maintenance of Manitoba’s fleet of seven amphibious water bomber aircraft and three Twin Commander 690 ‘bird-dog’ aircraft.

Our teams of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers and dedicated support staff are always hard at work which has been proven through their consistent 98 to 99% aircraft availability rate over the duration of the contract.
