Bridger completes purchase of two Super Scoopers, four Air Attack aircraft

Bridger Aerospace (BAER) Group completed the purchase of two Canadair CL-215T Amphibious Aircraft from MAB Funding, the partnership between Bridger, Marathon Asset Management and Eyre Street Capital. The purchase increases Bridger’s Super Scooper fleet from six to eight. Additionally, Bridger added four Air Attack aircraft to its balance sheet in the fourth quarter, two of which had previously been leased and on contract in 2025. The expanded fleet positions Bridger for increased mission capability and expanded contract awards heading into the 2026 fire season and beyond. The $50M purchase of the Scoopers was included in the Company’s $210M Senior Secured Term Loan Facility that closed in October. The addition of the four air attack aircraft was funded using a combination of cash and an initial draw on the Company’s Facility. With the addition of these six aircraft, Bridger Aerospace now operates eight Super Scoopers, more than any other private operator worldwide, and has a Light Fixed Wing Air Attack and Surveillance fleet of 11.
