Emergency aerial services provider Avincis sent two of its fleet of Italy-based CL-415 Super Scoopers to fight fires in Israel. It took less than n 24 hours to mobilize the firebombers after the call from the Israeli government. Last year, Avincis sent its CL-415s to support wildfire-fighting efforts in Greece, Albania, and Portugal, as part of the RescEU strategic reserve program.

“We welcome the opportunity to support the people and communities of Israel by sending two Canadair CL-415s to help fight the wildfires around Tel Aviv,” said John Boag, Avincis Group CEO. “In these situations, it is important to react quickly and mobilize aircraft as soon as possible. I am immensely proud of my team for getting this mission off the ground in under 24 hours.”
