De Havilland Canada, a leading global aerospace company, is exploring the possibility of establishing a supplier base in India to support its aircraft platforms. The manufacturer of the iconic Twin Otter aircraft, which holds over 95% of the global seaplane market share, sees India as a significant growth market.
With more than 100 Twin Otter aircraft already deployed in the neighboring Maldives, De Havilland Canada anticipates significant growth potential in India. The company predicts the creation of 60-100 seaplane routes in the country over the next five years, requiring the development of approximately 30 aerodromes.
Based on these projections, De Havilland Canada estimates a demand for 30-40 aircraft within the next five years and approximately 60-70 aircraft over the next decade. Establishing a local supplier base would not only reduce costs but also enhance the company’s responsiveness to the Indian market.
Yogesh Garg, regional vice president for Asia Pacific and the Middle East at De Havilland Canada, emphasized the company’s commitment to India. By setting up a supplier base, De Havilland Canada aims to contribute to the growth of the local aerospace industry and strengthen its presence in the region.
