Export Wins for Canada's Aerospace Sector in Japan

Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development Canada Nov 18, 2014

Minister Fast highlights export successes of CAE, Bell Helicopter and Bombardier during trade mission to Japan

The Honourable Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade, today highlighted recent commercial successes in Japan for the Canadian aerospace industry during his trade mission.

CAE Inc. of Montréal, Quebec, a global leader in providing comprehensive training solutions, entered into a joint venture with Japan Airlines Co. Ltd. (JAL) to open a joint training centre for its pilots, as well as pilots from third-party countries, in Asia. The joint venture represents an ongoing commitment by CAE to JAL; CAE has already supplied 14 flight simulators to JAL.

Bell Helicopter Japan sold a Bell 412EP helicopter made at its facility in Mirabel, Quebec, to Nishi Nippon Airlines (NNA). This was Bell Helicopter Japan’s sixth aircraft sale to NNA, which uses its fleet primarily for power lines construction and maintenance. Bell Helicopter is very active in Japan, with over 300 units currently in use.

Bombardier Aerospace is also active in Japan. The Montréal-based company continues to replace and grow its installed base of CRJ and Q400 aircraft in Japan, currently standing at 69 aircraft. The company is also seeking new opportunities for the CSeries in Japan.

Minister Fast is currently leading his fourth trade mission to Japan in support of Canada’s Global Markets Action Plan (GMAP)—the blueprint for creating jobs and opportunities for Canadians through trade. Under GMAP, Japan is a priority market and aerospace is a priority sector.

Quick Facts

  • Canada’s aerospace sector is the fifth largest in the world.
  • The aerospace sector’s more than 700 firms across Canada are responsible for the employment of 172,000 people and contribute nearly $28 billion to the national economy.

Quotes

“Canada is proud of the success of its world-class aerospace sector in Japan and around the world. Based on a long history of innovation in aviation, Canadian aerospace firms are world leaders. Our government is committed to delivering results around the world for Canadian companies by opening doors, accessing new markets and helping our aerospace companies expand and succeed abroad, which we know create jobs and prosperity at home. I thank Japanese companies for their confidence in Canadian technology and aerospace expertise.”

- Ed Fast, Minister of International Trade

“Over the next 20 years, there will be $5.2-trillion worth of work available to aerospace companies around the world. Nearly 40 percent of that work will be created in the Asia Pacific region, making it essential to our future competitiveness. The success of Canadian aerospace firms in Japan and around the world shows that our industry is globally competitive and well-positioned to take advantage of the coming opportunities. We commend the government for their commitment to ensuring that our trade and exports continue to drive innovation, jobs and growth within the industry here in Canada.”

- Jim Quick, President and CEO, Aerospace Industries Association of Canada
