This morning, we announced that DHC will be delivering three Dash 8-400s to SkyAlyne, a company that provides aircrew training, over the coming years.
It’s always exciting to announce new business, but this one is an especially significant partnership for DHC. SkyAlyne was selected to provide Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) for the Royal Canadian Air Force, and they chose the Dash 8 for their program.
Of course, it’s not the first time the RCAF has turned to DHC. “De Havilland Canada aircraft have been part of the RCAF for almost as long as the Royal Canadian Air Force has been flying,” said Ryan DeBrusk, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing. “We have been producing aircraft in Canada for the RCAF since 1928, including the DHC-3 Otter and DHC-5 Buffalo which were featured on the commemorative two-dollar coin celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Air Force. Today, the RCAF continues to fly DHC-6 Twin Otters, and we couldn’t be more pleased that the Dash 8-400 will be used by the FAcT program to train the aircrews of tomorrow.”
It’s a big win for our sales and marketing team, and it’s yet another vote of confidence for the rugged reliability of DHC aircraft.
