DHC to help streamline fleet planning
De Havilland Canada

A resurgent De Havilland Canada secured an order seven Dash 8-400s and has launched a new refurbishment program for the global turboprop fleet. The announcements accompanied confirmation of sales of one of the big turboprops to Skyward Express, another to Tanzania's Government Flight Agency, and a pair to Wideroe Airlines of Norway. Separately, the company signed a deal to supply a quick-change freighter kit to Advantage Air.

In 2018, DHC, then Viking Air, launched a program to convert and upgrade previously used CL-215 aircraft into the CL-415 Enhanced Aerial Fighter. To date, nine of 11 aircraft have undergone the upgrades.
