Airbus’s Canadian presence combines commercial aircraft production, helicopter manufacturing and support, defence-programme activity and flight-operations software. The A220 programme in Mirabel is one major part of that footprint, alongside Airbus Atlantic airframe work, Fort Erie’s helicopter capabilities, Ottawa defence/support activity and Waterloo software operations. These activities span several group entities; Airbus Canada Limited Partnership is specifically associated with the A220 programme. The industrial offer reaches beyond final aircraft assembly. Fort Erie manufactures composite components and provides helicopter modification, completion and component-support services. A Niagara spares distribution centre opened in May 2025 supports the helicopter network. In defence, named Airbus entities work with Canadian partners on search-and-rescue aircraft, tanker/transport conversion and aircrew training. The work package determines the responsible company and site. The Mirabel Tech Hub, launched in May 2026, adds a research-collaboration route alongside established manufacturing.
