The Twin Otter was originally designed by De Havilland Canada in the 60’s.
It is a twin-engine turboprop aircraft that can carry up to 19 passengers and is designed for rugged terrain journeys.
In Malaysia, it is usually used to transport passengers and cargo to remote locations where the Short Take-off and Landing (STOL) ports are located.
