De Havilland Canada (DHC) and Servicio Aéreo a Territorios Nacionales (Satena) have signed an agreement for the purchase of eight DHC-6 Twin Otter aircraft. This acquisition aims to enhance Colombia's air connectivity by improving access to remote areas.

Majority-owned by the Colombian government, Satena focuses on providing access to less connected regions. DHC highlighted that the Twin Otter offers favorable operating economics, supporting Satena's growth strategy for the next 50 years. Deliveries are scheduled to begin later this year.

"The De Havilland Canada Twin Otter, with its modern cockpit, rugged airframe, and proven reliability, is the right addition to our fleet and will support our mission to [exceed] expectations, expand our routes, and reach new destinations," said Maj. Gen. Oscar Zuluaga Castano, president of Satena.

In another development, DHC announced that Zimex Aviation has signed a purchase agreement for newly certified Garmin Avionics packages to upgrade their Twin Otter Series 400. The order includes four upgrade kits through a partnership with Aerocorp Avionics Solutions and will be delivered in the second half of the year.

Zimex is a long-term customer of DHC, having ordered two new DHC Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft at the Paris Airshow in 2023. These aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2025.

"Zimex and De Havilland Canada have a great relationship that goes back decades, and we are pleased that they have chosen to upgrade their Twin Otters with new avionics suites," said Ryan deBrusk, vice president of sales and marketing at DHC.

The upgrades received certification in June, with autopilot certification expected in early 2025.

DHC is also celebrating the 50th anniversary of the first Short Brothers 330 flight at the Farnborough International Airshow in 1974. The 30-seat turboprop became part of the DHC family in 2019.
