About De Havilland Aircraft of Canada
De Havilland Aircraft of Canada designs, builds and supports utility, regional and special-mission aircraft, including Twin Otter, Dash 8 and the Canadair amphibious firefighting family. Its Canadian manufacturing and sustainment business serves commercial operators and government customers worldwide.
Operating context
The portfolio spans aircraft with different delivery and integration states. The Twin Otter Classic 300-G combines STOL utility-aircraft performance with a Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck and OEM support; DHC reports EASA certification and the first certified aircraft operating with Zimex. Canadair 515 is a production programme backed by government orders, with structural assembly progressing in Canada. CCC acts as prime contractor for the six European government agreements. Buyers should distinguish a certified utility-aircraft configuration, a special-mission installation and an aircraft still progressing through production rather than treating the entire portfolio as one readiness state.
