De Havilland Canada Begins Phased Return to Work
Toronto-based De Havilland Canada said it would take a measured approach to resuming operations.

Workers at De Havilland Canada began returning to work on Monday after the company reopened its Dash 8-400 plant in Toronto. The first phase of the resumption of operations saw 100 employees return to work, concentrating on pre-flight activities and deliveries. In a statement issued on May 4, the company said the phased return to work reflects market demand following the temporary suspension of manufacturing operations on March 20 to support international efforts to mitigate the effects of Covid-19. The suspension of production affected 800 De Havilland employees, or 65 percent of the Toronto workforce.
