De Havilland Canada (DHC) and Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales (Satena) have signed an agreement covering the purchase of eight DHC-6 Twin Otters aircraft to add to the airline's growing fleet. The sale will add to Colombia's air connectivity by further improving access to remote areas of the country.

Majority-owned by the government of Colombia, Satena provides access to less connected areas of the country. DHC said the Twin Otter offers exceptional operating economics that will drive Satena's growth strategy for the next 50 years. DHC has scheduled deliveries of the aircraft to begin later this year.
