Ethiopian Airlines Takes Delivery of First Twin Otter Classic 300-G

Ethiopian Airlines, Africa’s largest airline, has taken delivery of the first of two DHC-6 Twin Otter Classic 300-G aircraft from De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Limited.

The addition of the aircraft will support Ethiopian Airlines’ efforts to expand domestic connectivity and provide access to remote areas and tourism destinations across Ethiopia.

The Twin Otter Classic 300-G combines the legendary aircraft’s proven short takeoff and landing (STOL) performance and greater payload capability with a modern Garmin G1000 integrated flight deck, new lightweight cabin seats, enhanced electrical systems, and upgraded cockpit ergonomics.

The aircraft's versatility delivers greater operational efficiency and mission flexibility while retaining the rugged capabilities required to operate reliably in remote and challenging environments.

This acquisition marks the introduction of the 300-G into Ethiopian Airlines’ fleet and underscores the airlines commitment to connecting communities across diverse and remote regions.
