De Havilland Canada (DHC) has secured an order for seven Dash 8-400 aircraft and launched a new refurbishment program for its global turboprop fleet at the Farnborough Airshow 2024. The company confirmed sales of one of the large turboprops to Skyward Express, another to Tanzania's Government Flight Agency, and two to Wideroe Airlines of Norway. Additionally, DHC signed a deal to supply a quick-change freighter kit to Advantage Air.

In 2018, when DHC was known as Viking Air, it initiated a program to convert and upgrade previously used CL-215 aircraft into the CL-415 Enhanced Aerial Fighter. To date, nine out of eleven aircraft have undergone these upgrades.

The newly announced DHC OEM Certified Refurbishment Program allows the company to acquire, upgrade, and remarket aircraft tailored to specific customer needs. Maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) work will be conducted at its Calgary, Alberta facility.

Services offered under this program include configuring aircraft to match customer fleets, completing overdue MRO tasks, integrating airworthiness directives and service bulletin upgrades, and performing freighter conversions. This includes introducing the new Dash 8-400 Large Cargo Door and facilitating quick changes between cargo and passenger missions.

To date, DHC has acquired 28 Dash 8-400 aircraft for this refurbishment program.

For over four decades, the Dash 8 family of aircraft has served as regional airliners, accumulating over 46 million flight cycles in global operations.

DHC has established a Product Strategy Council and recently met with operators in North America, Oceania, Japan, Africa, and Europe to understand their evolving business objectives and passenger preferences.

"It's clear that the Dash 8 continues to be a highly valued fleet for operators around the world, whether in an airline's network or performing a specialized mission," said Ryan DeBrusk, vice president of sales and marketing at DHC.
