Longview Aviation Capital, and its subsidiary Viking Air of North Saanich, BC, reached a deal to provide the Republic of Indonesia’s Ministry of Defense with seven aerial-firefighting aircraft, including one CL-415EAF and six new-production CL-515 airplanes. The firm purchase agreement is only conditional on Longview’s board approving the CL-515 production launch program, which is on schedule and now supported by the agreement to deliver six such aircraft to Indonesia by 2024.
The CL-515 is the next-generation platform of the Canadiar CL-415, widely regarded as the aviation industry’s benchmark amphibious aircraft for firefighting missions around the globe. The CL-515 features enhanced firefighting capabilities but also the flexibility to support a range of critical mission operations. Four of Indonesia’s new CL-515 aircraft will be delivered in what Viking classifies as First Responder multi-mission configuration, with the remaining two delivered in optimized aerial firefighter configuration. The purchase agreement also includes one Canadair CL-415EAF (Enhanced Aerial Firefighter) aircraft converted from a CL-215 to EAF standard by Longview’s subsidiary Longview Aviation Services.
