De Havilland Canada has selected GAL Aerospace for the new interior panels and Aviointeriors SPA as suppliers for the new passenger seats for the venerable Twin Otter STOL aircraft.

The new interior of the Twin Otter enhances passenger comfort while significantly reducing the aircraft’s Basic Empty Weight. The panels are all-new, crafted from durable and lightweight materials. Redesigned passenger interfaces are integrated into the ceiling, featuring intuitive pictograms for placards and new cabin window bezels that allow more light to fill the cabin. The all-new seats are 15% lighter, come with ‘e-leather’ upholstery as standard, and feature a convenient fold-flat backrest. These improvements allow operators to transport more passengers or cargo per flight, maximizing efficiency and operational capacity.

For current operators looking to modernize their Twin Otters, the Garmin avionics suite, redesigned cabin interior, and new passenger seats are now available to order from DHC, with deliveries expected in 2025.

The Classic 300-G is the newest generation of the Twin Otter, carrying passengers, transporting VIPs, moving cargo, conducting medivac operations, and performing special missions in the world’s most unforgiving environments. When mounted on amphibious floats, these aircraft move seamlessly between paved surfaces and water-landing areas.
