Bridger Aerospace secures purchase agreement for two Spanish Super Scoopers

Bridger Aerospace (BAER) Group entered into a purchase agreement for two Canadair CL-215T Amphibious Aircraft from MAB Funding, LLC, the partnership between Bridger, Marathon Asset Management LP and Eyre Street Capital. The purchase increases Bridger’s Super Scooper fleet from six to eight aircraft and solidifies its position as the owner of the largest private Super Scooper fleet in the world. The $50 million transaction for the two Super Scoopers is expected to close before year-end, subject to customary closing conditions. Two additional Super Scooper aircraft under the Company’s partnership with MAB Funding LLC continue return-to-service work at Bridger’s Spanish subsidiary, Albacete Aero, and are scheduled for completion in 2026. Upon their readiness, Bridger will evaluate the optimal path to integrate these assets into its operational fleet. With this acquisition, Bridger Aerospace now operates eight Super Scooper aircraft – more than any other private operator worldwide – positioning Bridger for expanded contract awards and increased mission capability heading into the 2026 fire season and beyond.
