Le DHC-6 Twin Otter de De Havilland Canada est un avion ADAC monoplan utilitaire.
De Havilland Canada fait évoluer le DHC-3 Otter à partir de 1964 pour créer le DHC-6, plus grand et équipé de deux turbopropulseurs Pratt & Whitney de type PT-6 sur les ailes. Comme son prédécesseur, le DHC-6 est très polyvalent et peut être équipé soit de roues, soit de skis, soit de flotteurs. Il fut produit à 844 exemplaires de 1965 à 1988.

The de Havilland Canada DHC-6 Twin Otter is a Canadian 19-passenger STOL (Short Takeoff and Landing) utility aircraft developed by de Havilland Canada and currently produced by Viking Air. The aircraft's fixed tricycle undercarriage, STOL abilities and high rate of climb have made it a successful cargo, regional passenger airliner and MEDEVAC aircraft. In addition, the Twin Otter has been popular with commercial skydiving operations, and is used by the United States Army Parachute Team and the United States Air Force's 98th Flying Training Squadron.
The DHC-6 Twin Otter operated by Skydive Dubai sustained damage in a landing accident at Dubai-Palm Drop Zone Airstrip (2 october 2015). The Palm Drop Zone airstrip (06/24) is about 2250 feet (685 m) long and stretches out into the water. The aircraft came to rest nose down on a shed about 100 meters from the threshold of runway 24.
