De Havilland Canada

De Havilland Canada Official Page | Built in Canada. Made for the World. Since 1928. De Havilland Canada. Rugged. Reliable. Canadian.

In 1928, De Havilland Aircraft of Canada was created to build aircraft and train personnel for military missions in the defence of freedom. Over generations, the company evolved to lead Canadian aerospace innovation by designing aircraft that access remote communities, carry travellers between urban centres, deliver aid and cargo, save lives, and safeguard communities the world over. From iconic,

legendary aircraft like the Beaver, Buffalo, Caribou, and Otter – each still flying strong – to today’s fleet of Dash 8s, Twin Otters, and aerial firefighters that help protect people and property during wildfires, De Havilland Canada is the recognized global leader in manufacturing and maintaining special-mission aircraft that get the job done. As De Havilland Canada approaches the end of its first century, the company is looking towards the next one hundred years. We are creating a new home that builds on our legacy of aviation leadership, but also stimulates a new era and ecosystem of Canadian aerospace discovery and excellence – a state-of-the-art aerospace campus just east of Calgary that we call De Havilland Field.

As wildfires continue to impact communities across Canada, Europe, and around the world, our thoughts are with everyone affected and with the firefighters, pilots, maintenance crews, military personnel, and emergency responders working tirelessly to protect lives and communities.

We're proud to stand behind the operators who rely on our aircraft, including teams across Canada, Sécurité Civile in France, Ejército del Aire y del Espacio in Spain, and others on the front lines. Throughout the fire season, our teams and supply chain partners work around the clock to provide parts, engineering expertise, and rapid technical support to help keep these aircraft mission ready.

Protecting communities from wildfires takes preparation, partnership, and the dedication of the people on the front lines. We're proud to support their mission.

As another Farnborough comes to a close, we want to say thank you to everyone who made this week so memorable.

To our customers, suppliers, industry partners, and everyone who stopped by to spend time with us, thank you for the conversations, the ideas, and the opportunity to share what De Havilland Canada is building. Your support and partnership continue to shape our future.

From our pancake breakfast and our PropelHER and Supply Chain receptions, to welcoming visitors aboard the Sherpa and meeting with customers from around the world, the week at Farnborough was about more than aircraft. It was about the relationships, collaboration, and shared passion that keep our industry moving forward.

Most of all, thank you to every member of the De Havilland Canada team. Whether you helped prepare months in advance or represented us throughout the week, your hard work, commitment, and pride in what we do were reflected in every conversation, every meeting, and every interaction. Thank you for making Farnborough such a success.

Every conversation has the potential to move our industry forward.

We brought together many of the incredible professionals from across aerospace to share our PropelHER program and the impact it's having on women across the industry. PropelHER is an important program at DHC, supporting our commitment to advancing diversity and inclusion and expanding leadership opportunities for women at DHC. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and we look forward to seeing where these conversations lead!

This week, the Sherpa took center stage at .

The Sherpa was on full display, bringing together customers, operators, suppliers, and industry partners for conversations about versatility, reliability, and what it takes to perform in demanding environments.

Every discussion reinforced that the toughest missions require more than capability. They also require an aircraft operators know they can depend on.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the De Havilland Canada chalet.
