Ontario is a place where global giants expand their operations and home-grown businesses produce quality parts and innovative services. Ontario manufacturers are part of the global supply chain for virtually every passenger aircraft in the world, and the aerospace industry works closely with academia to develop and commercialize new products and technology.
Our Ontario companies and the Ontario government continue to invest in innovation along with the knowledge, skills, and abilities of our people to ensure Ontario is well-positioned to meet the challenges of a highly competitive global market.
Moira Harvey, Executive Director of the Ontario Aerospace Council
Ontario’s aerospace companies have a globally recognized reputation for quality, value, performance and reliability. From the first De Havilland Beaver float plane to RADARSAT Constellation, Ontario has a history of excellence in aerospace technology.
How do we do it? Through a vibrant R&D environment, integrated supply chain and highly skilled talent.
Our aerospace sector directly employs over 21,500 people and an additional 17,200 indirectly. Plus, Ontario is home to 16 universities that offer engineering degrees and over 40 aerospace-related post-secondary programs.
The result? Aerospace talent is both plentiful and highly skilled in Ontario.
