Bridger Aerospace Expands Fleet with Two Super Scoopers and Four Air Attack Aircraft, Eyes Increased Contract Awards in 2026.

Bridger Aerospace Group Holdings has completed the purchase of two Canadair CL-215T Amphibious Aircraft and four Air Attack aircraft, increasing its Super Scooper fleet to eight and its Light Fixed Wing Air Attack and Surveillance fleet to 11. The expanded fleet positions the company for increased mission capability and expanded contract awards heading into the 2026 fire season. The $50 million purchase was funded through a $210 million Senior Secured Term Loan Facility, and the addition of the four air attack aircraft was funded using a combination of cash and an initial draw on the facility.
