Over the course of the last five years, those companies have all indicated their interest in providing new fighter jets to Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aircraft expected to be offered to Canada include Lockheed Martin\u2019s F-35, Boeing\u2019s Super Hornet, the Eurofighter Typhoon, the Dassault Rafale and Saab\u2019s Gripen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There were some questions about whether Boeing would put its name forth in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2018\/01\/24\/boeing-a-no-show-at-industry-day-for-canada-jet-buy\/\" title=\"\" class=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"_blank\">the aftermath of a messy trade dispute<\/a> with Canada and its main domestic aerospace firm, Bombardier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the midst of that dispute, Canada canceled a plan to buy 18 Super Hornets as a stopgap measure until the new fighters could be acquired. It will now instead buy used F-18 aircraft from Australia to fill in as \u201cinterim\u201d fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBoeing and the US Government have taken the first step in Canada\u2019s Future Fighter Capability Project (FFCP), and the Super Hornet is among the aircraft included on the FFCP Supplier List by the Government of Canada,\u201d Boeing spokesman Scott Day noted in an email. \u201cWe will continue to evaluate our participation in the FFCP as the Government of Canada outlines the procurement approach, requirements and evaluation criteria.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A request for proposals for the new fighter jets will be issued in 2019, Canadian government officials say.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A winning bidder is expected to be selected in spring 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first aircraft would be delivered sometime in 2025. Deliveries could take place between then and 2031. The new aircraft would replace the Royal Canadian Air Force\u2019s existing CF-18 fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Email: <a href=\"mailto:dpugliese@defensenews.com\" title=\"\"
