<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Calgary, Alberta, June 18, 2026</strong> – De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (De Havilland Canada) is pleased to announce the delivery of the first of two Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft to Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest airline.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aircraft will support Ethiopian Airlines’ efforts to expand regional connectivity and provide access to remote communities, tourism destinations, and lake regions across Ethiopia and East Africa.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We appreciate Ethiopian Airlines’ confidence in De Havilland Canada and the Twin Otter Classic 300-G,” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice President, Sales and Marketing, De Havilland Canada “The Twin Otter’s proven reliability, versatility, and ability to operate in challenging environments make it well suited to the diverse missions Ethiopian Airlines will undertake across the region. We value the trust Ethiopian Airlines has placed in De Havilland Canada and look forward to supporting their continued growth and commitment to connecting communities throughout East Africa.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Twin Otter Classic 300-G combines the legendary aircraft’s proven short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance which offers a greater payload capability, with a modern Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, new Lightweight Cabin Seats, enhanced electrical systems, and upgraded cockpit ergonomics. Building on decades of proven performance, the 300-G delivers greater operational efficiency and mission flexibility while retaining the rugged capabilities that enable operators to serve destinations where other aircraft cannot.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The delivery of our first Twin Otter Classic 300-G is an important milestone in our regional growth strategy,” said Mesfin Tasew, Group Chief Executive Officer of Ethiopian Airlines. “This aircraft will enable us to better serve remote areas while supporting tourism, economic development, and essential air services throughout the region.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first delivery marks the beginning of Ethiopian Airlines’ Twin Otter Classic 300-G fleet expansion, with a second aircraft scheduled for delivery later in 2026.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The order represents a significant endorsement of the DHC-515 program by a De Havilland Canada launch customer and reinforces France’s commitment to strengthening its wildfire response capabilities amid growing climate-driven wildfire risks across Europe and the Mediterranean region.</p>

We are honoured to continue supporting France as it modernizes its fleet.”</p>

Building on the proven legacy of the Canadair waterbomber family, it features modern avionics, enhanced reliability, and improved operational efficiency to support demanding firefighting and emergency response missions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The agreement also reflects the partnership between De Havilland Canada and the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC), whose government-to-government contracting expertise has supported Canada’s aerospace export programs and facilitated international customer relationships.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With another active wildfire season underway, De Havilland Canada remains committed to delivering aircraft that will strengthen global wildfire response capabilities for decades to come.</p>

The event also featured the arrival of multiple De Havilland Canada&nbsp;aircraft, underscoring the company’s legacy and future in Canadian aviation.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Today’s groundbreaking is about far more than a new facility — it is about building sovereign capability in Canadian aerospace,&nbsp;manufacturing,&nbsp;service support, and training,” said Brian Chafe, Chief Executive Officer, De Havilland Canada. “The potential of&nbsp;De Havilland Field&nbsp;is massive. We are 100%&nbsp;Canadian&nbsp;owned, with&nbsp;an 80% Canadian-based supply chain. If the government follows through&nbsp;on its commitments to buy Canadian,&nbsp;and to&nbsp;support&nbsp;and build&nbsp;sovereign&nbsp;capabilities, the&nbsp;possibilities&nbsp;of De&nbsp;Havilland&nbsp;Field&nbsp;are&nbsp;unparalleled.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>A Catalyst for Jobs and Economic Growth</strong>&nbsp;</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Calgary, AB (March 25, 2026) &#8211;</strong> De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (De Havilland Canada) is proud to announce that the Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for its CL-415 Avionics Upgrade was officially approved by Transport Canada. This milestone marks a significant advancement in the modernization of the iconic waterbomber platform.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The certification is the result of a highly collaborative effort between De Havilland Canada and its subsidiaries, Mid-Canada Mod Center (MC2) and Avionics Design Services (ADS), in partnership with Universal Avionics. Together, these teams have developed a state-of-the-art avionics solution that enhances operational capability, reliability, and long-term supportability for CL-415 operators worldwide.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The approval of this STC not only modernizes the CL-415 but also reinforces our commitment to delivering advanced, mission-ready solutions for aerial firefighting operators.” said Jean-Philippe Côté, Vice President, Programs and Business Improvement at De Havilland Canada. “We look forward to deploying these advanced avionics systems across the CL-415 fleet and into the next generation of DHC-515 aircraft.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This milestone comes during an important period for De Havilland Canada’s waterbomber program, as the company continues to invest in the modernization and long-term sustainability of its fleet. The newly certified avionics suite will also be incorporated into the upcoming DHC-515 aircraft, ensuring fleet commonality and operational efficiency across both platforms.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">De Havilland Canada extends its sincere appreciation to the many teams who contributed to this achievement, including engineering, production, flight test, certification, supply chain, programs, maintenance operations, and technical support.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><em>From Opening the Canadian North to Connecting Colombia, a Legendary Aircraft Reaches a Historic Milestone</em></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Calgary, Alberta (March 20, 2026) &#8211;</strong> De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (De Havilland Canada) proudly celebrates a defining moment in aviation history with the delivery of its 1000<sup>th</sup> DHC-6 Twin Otter. This landmark aircraft, along with the 999<sup>th</sup> Twin Otter, will be joining the fleet of SATENA, Colombia’s state-owned regional airline, marking both a global production milestone and a meaningful chapter in a growing partnership.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Reaching 1000 Twin Otters produced and delivered is a powerful testament to an aircraft that has become an icon of rugged reliability, versatility, and purpose-driven design. Originally built to open up the Canadian North, the Twin Otter has spent decades connecting remote communities, supporting economic development, and operating in environments where few other aircraft can perform. Today, that same spirit of connection continues in Colombia, where this milestone aircraft will help link communities across mountains, jungles, coastlines, and rural regions.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“Delivering our 1000th Twin Otter is a proud milestone for De Havilland Canada,” said Brian Chafe, CEO of De Havilland Canada. “Built to connect people in the world’s most challenging environments, the Twin Otter’s success reflects the skill and dedication of our teams and the trust our customers have placed in this aircraft for generations. We’re pleased to see it continue serving communities around the world.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aircraft represents SATENA’s fourth De Havilland Canada aircraft, reinforcing a partnership grounded in performance and shared purpose. For SATENA, whose mission is centered on serving remote and underserved regions of Colombia, the Twin Otter is more than an aircraft, it is an essential tool for national integration and opportunity.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are honoured to receive the 1,000th Twin Otter,” said Major General Óscar Zuluaga, President of SATENA. “This aircraft will play a vital role in strengthening connectivity throughout Colombia. As we welcome our fourth De Havilland Canada aircraft, we celebrate not only a milestone in aviation history, but a continued commitment to serving communities that rely on us every day.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">For more than six decades, the DHC-6 Twin Otter has proven itself as the benchmark for utility aviation, from Arctic operations to tropical climates, humanitarian missions to commercial service. Its exceptional short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance, durability, and adaptability have made it one of the most reliable aircraft programs in Canadian aerospace history.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The 1000<sup>th</sup> delivery is more than a number, it is a celebration of the people who design, build, maintain, and operate the aircraft, and the countless people around the world whose lives have been connected because of it.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As the Twin Otter continues its journey into the future, one thing remains unchanged: it was built to open up the North, and it continues to open up opportunity wherever it flies.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Calgary, AB &#8211; March 11, 2026</strong> &#8211; De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (De Havilland Canada) is pleased to announce that an undisclosed Asia-Pacific carrier has signed a Purchase Agreement for three refurbished Dash 8-400 aircraft.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The aircraft will undergo comprehensive refurbishment, ensuring the aircraft meet the highest standards of reliability, passenger comfort, and operational efficiency. These aircraft will support the airline’s network development and fleet strategy and join the airline’s existing fleet of Dash 8-400s with deliveries scheduled to take place through 2027 and 2028.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This agreement highlights the demand for the Dash 8-400 aircraft across the Asia-Pacific region, where its blend of speed, efficiency, and flexibility gives airlines the ability to connect key urban hubs and regional destinations while maintaining strong operating performance. From high-frequency regional services to operations in challenging environments, De Havilland Canada aircraft get the job done.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We’re proud to support our customer’s continued fleet enhancement with these refurbished Dash 8-400s, which will offer a refreshed passenger experience and increased seating capacity thereby offering increased revenue opportunities” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice President Sales and Marketing for De Havilland Canada. “The Dash 8-400 gives airlines the confidence to serve their communities with an aircraft that is fast, efficient, and dependable every day. Through our refurbished aircraft program, we’re able to deliver that capability with the reliability and support our customers count on.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Renowned for its turboprop efficiency and jet-like performance, the Dash 8-400’s short takeoff and landing performance enables operations at airports with shorter runways, high temperatures, and complex terrain, conditions frequently encountered across the Asia-Pacific region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">De Havilland Canada’s refurbished aircraft program combines upgraded cabin interiors and modernized systems with the proven durability. The global Dash 8 fleet is supported by De Havilland Canada’s comprehensive customer support network, including parts services, technical support, and tailored maintenance solutions.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><strong>Calgary, Alberta – March 11, 2026 </strong>— De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited (“De Havilland Canada”) is pleased to announce that Flytec, a regional airline based in Argentina, has taken delivery of a DHC refurbished Dash 8-400 aircraft. The aircraft will support mining operations in Argentina.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Known for its speed, fuel efficiency, and exceptional performance in high-altitude and short-field environments, the Dash 8-400 is uniquely suited to support air access in Argentina’s diverse terrain — from mountainous areas to remote rural destinations.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“We are excited to welcome Flytec as the newest operator of the Dash 8-400,” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice President of Sales and Marketing at De Havilland Canada. “This aircraft is ideal for Flytec’s mission of supporting operations in Argentina, offering high altitude airfield performance capability. We look forward to supporting their growth with the unmatched performance and operational flexibility of the Dash 8-400.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This will be the first Dash 8-400 operating in Argentina, joining a growing fleet of regional aircraft operated by Flytec and it will be delivered with a modern interior configuration to enhance passenger comfort and operational versatility.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">“The Dash 8-400 stood out for its high-altitude performance, making it ideal for the demanding conditions of our mining operations” said Mateo Zambruno, Chief Executive Officer at Flytec. “Coupled with its industry-leading low carbon emissions per seat and the confidence provided by DHC’s OEM certified refurbishment program, it was the clear choice for Flytec.” The Dash 8-400 is recognized globally for its operational excellence and sustainability benefits, including lower emissions and noise levels and continues to be the leading turboprop for regional airlines operating in challenging environments.</p>
