Who we are

At Positive Aviation, we believe that aviation is a force for good for our society and our environment.

Our mission is driven by two key observations:

• Civil protection authorities can only effectively safeguard people, property, and nature when equipped with the right tools.
• The iconic “Canadair” Super Scooper, a pillar of aerial firefighting, no longer meets the reliability and availability standards required today.

Positive Aviation aims at offering them as early as 2028 an alternative – a new, modern, reliable and efficient amphibious water scooper firefighter aircraft – the FF72.

Positive Aviation is an engineering and industrial company, developing and implementing modifications on second-hand ATR 72 transforming them into amphibious water scooper firefighter aircraft – the FF72. The FF72 leverages proven technologies and combines expertise from both the aeronautical and naval industries.

From development to operations, Positive Aviation is committed to supporting the entire lifecycle of the FF72, ensuring its long-term success.

Our headquarters are located at Toulouse Blagnac Airport, inside Hangar H16, home to our industrial partners and the FF72 development team. It is also where we are assembling the FF72-X1 demonstrator, set for its first flight in 2026.
