via Flightglobal

Saab is pursuing a sale of its Gripen E fighter jet to Canada, with plans to establish a domestic final assembly line if successful. The company sees an opportunity amid growing demand for fighters and potential cooling of Ottawa's interest in the Lockheed Martin F-35.

Why it matters

The potential sale of Gripen E to Canada could impact the country's military capabilities and influence the global fighter jet market. Saab's plans for a domestic final assembly line could also have economic implications for Canada.
