De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Resumes Work

De Havilland Aircraft of Canada has started a phased return to work of employees and a measured resumption of activities.

In the first phase, approximately 100 employees have returned to work with the company focused on resuming pre-flight activities and delivery of Dash 8-400 aircraft. The company suspended manufacturing operations on 20 March.

“In harmony with ongoing efforts to curtail the effects of COVID19, De Havilland Canada is glad to start welcoming our employees back to work to resume aircraft pre-flight activities and prepare for upcoming deliveries to our customers,” said Todd Young, Chief Operating Officer, De Havilland Canada. “The health and safety of our employees, customers and suppliers is of the utmost priority and as such, we will continue to work closely with government agencies and the custodian of the Toronto Site, to ensure that protocols and processes are in place for a safe operational environment.”

During the pause in production and delivery of new Dash 8-400 aircraft, De Havilland Canada continued to provide customer support and technical services to owners and operators of Dash 8 Series aircraft around the world, with most teams working remotely.

“The global aviation industry continues to face unprecedented uncertainty as a result COVID19 and we are all watching for signs of economic recovery. As we move forward, we are adjusting the business to reflect the current market demand, as well as for the foreseeable future, and we will proactively manage costs and streamline our operations in all areas of the business,” added Mr. Young.
