Delayed Delivery: Air Force's 1st New Refuelling Jet Won't Be Delivered Until Late 2027 Canada's Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) has been counting down to the arrival of its new air tankers, but it seems the wait will be longer than anticipated.
According to recent reports, the first of four new Airbus A330s won't touch down until late 2027, leaving Canada's fighter jets without a reliable refuelling option in the Arctic.
The delay is particularly concerning given the importance of these air tankers for military operations in the region.
