De Havilland Canada (DHC) has announced the establishment of a wholly-owned subsidiary to support its operations in Greece
De Havilland Aircraft of Canada Hellas Ltd will offer closer proximity and more responsive support to operators of DHC waterbombers in Greece.
DHC stated that this represents its “deep confidence in the Greek market, and its strong cooperation with the Greek government and relevant aviation authorities”.
“We are proud to establish a regional presence in Greece, a country with a strong aviation tradition. This announcement reinforces our commitment to operators in this important market,” said Jean-Philippe Côté, Vice President, Programs and Business Improvement at DHC.
“This investment,” he added, “will allow us to better address the specific needs of our customers in the region, delivering faster response times, improved parts availability, and personalized support.”
