De Havilland Canada secures orders for Dash 8-400s and launches refurbishment program

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.
