Conair Group Inc.

Conair, headquartered in British Columbia, is a global leader in aerial firefighting and fixed-wing emergency response aircraft conversion. Since 1969, the company has produced special mission aircraft and now operates the world’s largest fixed-wing firefighting fleet, with 80 amphibious, land-based, and lead-plane types contracted to governments in Canada, the United States, and Australia.

Conair also exports special purpose aircraft worldwide. Its current program centers on the Made-in-Canada Dash 8-400MRE, a multi role aircraft capable of airtanker, cargo, passenger, combi, and medevac operations. Able to switch roles within hours, it supports wildfire response, disaster relief, humanitarian missions, medical evacuation, and military transport. Conair’s engineering team can further customize the platform for applications such as ISR and oil spill dispersal. The Dash 8-400MRE, along with its airtanker-only variant, is a proven platform with a 20 year service record and more than 28 aircraft operating globally today.
