Cascade Aerospace
Cascade Aerospace Inc. of Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada is a specialty aerospace and defence contractor, focused on providing long-term integrated aircraft support programs for Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs), military, government and commercial customers.
Cascade Aerospace is a member of the Aerospace Industries Association of Canada (AIAC). Cascade Aerospace was formerly a division of Conair Group, however in 2012 Cascade was acquired by the IMP Group of Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Cascade Aerospace is headquartered in a 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m2) facility at the Abbotsford International Airport, in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Canada. The facility was built in 2000 and is designed and equipped to accommodate eight narrow-body aircraft. Cascade also has a satellite operation in Trenton, Ontario on the Canadian Forces Base.
Cascade Aerospace Inc. began as an aircraft repair station, founded by Barry Marsden, who received his pilot's license at age 17. Marsden's enthusiasm for aviation led him to co-found the Conair Group, a specialty aviation services firm, in 1969.
Conair's initial focus was aerial forest fire control. The experience acquired in developing specialty aviation products and operating and maintaining a fleet of 90 aircraft gave Conair the expertise required to offer third-party maintenance and modifications. That expertise inspired a more expansive vision. By 1993, Marsden–forward thinking about aviation–envisioned a new enterprise dedicated to providing third-party maintenance. That became a reality when Conair moved into a new, state-of-the-art, 230,000-square-foot (21,000 m2) facility in December 2000. In spring 2001, the third-party maintenance division became a separate company with a new name, Cascade Aerospace.
