Ottawa has inked a contract with Bombardier to build six new Global 6500 aircraft for the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) fleet.

The government said the cost of the contract was $753 million, and the aircraft would replace the remaining CC-144 Challenger fleet that is used to transport government officials, such as the prime minister and governor general.
