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.

De Havilland Canada is pleased to announce an agreement with the Government of Canada and Export Development Canada (EDC) that will allow us to double De Havilland Canadair 515 production capacity.

The agreement will see De Havilland Canada hire new staff and invest in facilities across its Canadian sites in Victoria, Calgary, Toronto, Kitchener, and Fort Erie, also creating supply chain jobs from Newfoundland to British Columbia.

This announcement will mean more waterbombers will be produced sooner, and will create thousands of Canadian jobs, strengthening Canada’s ability to build these essential aircraft.
