Boeing has received a $3.4-billion contract to manufacture 17 P-8A Poseidon maritime patrol aircraft for Canada and Germany.

According to a US Department of Defense announcement, 14 Poseidons will be delivered to Ottawa by March 2028 to replace its aging fleet of CP-140 Auroras.

The remaining three aircraft are bound for Berlin, which made an initial order of five P-8As in 2021 and is scheduled to receive them in 2025.

Boeing vice president Philip June said the company is proud to have been awarded the contract and to add the two countries to the growing list of P-8A operators worldwide.

“The Poseidon is a proven aircraft, with more than 600,000 flight hours, that will serve Canada and Germany well in today’s challenging security environment and for decades to come,” he stated.

Most of the work for the contract will be performed in Washington.
