The Twin Otter is a versatile, twin-engine aircraft designed for short takeoff and landing (STOL) operations. Manufactured by De Havilland Canada, it is commonly used for regional flights, cargo transport, and aerial surveys. The aircraft can accommodate up to 19 passengers and is known for its reliability in various weather conditions. First introduced in 1965, the Twin Otter has become popular among airlines and charter services, especially in remote areas. Its rugged design allows it to operate from unpaved runways and challenging terrains, making it ideal for destinations with limited infrastructure.
