De Havilland Canada to build airline manufacturing plant east of Calgary

BY THE CANADIAN PRESS, Sep 22, 2022 2:49 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

De Havilland Aircraft of Canada says its plan to build a new aircraft manufacturing plant east of Calgary could eventually employ up to 1,500 people.

The company says the facility is to be located in Wheatland County between the communities of Chestermere and Strathmore.

Company co-owner Sherry Brydson says construction will start next year but it will take a long time to complete and will depend on the growth of the business.

She says the full buildout of the plant that will assemble Firefighter aircraft, Twin Otters and Dash 8-400s will take somewhere between 10 and 15 years.
