Voyageur Aviation has entered into an agreement with BendixKing to develop a Supplemental Type Certificate (STC) for the design installation of the BendixKing AeroVue avionics upgrade for the De Havilland Dash 8-100/200/300 series of aircraft.

Voyageur will leverage its extensive experience as a global Dash 8 operator, lessor, maintainer and modifier to develop the Dash 8 100/200/300 AeroVue flight deck upgrade.

Voyageur’s Aerotech division provides specialised regional aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO), and aircraft design engineering services.

These activities complement Chorus’ full suite of regional aviation support services that encompass every stage of an aircraft’s lifecycle.

Jeff Cooke, vice president Voyageur Aviation, Aerotech Division, commented: “The AeroVue system sets new standards of performance, reliability and value for the Dash 8. It is the best option for regional airlines and other operators looking to improve performance, enhance reliability and reduce costs of their Dash 8 fleets.

“At Voyageur we have the experience and the know-how to replace obsolete avionics systems with the modern, efficient AeroVue flight deck with minimum downtime so that operators can get their aircraft back in the air, generating revenue.”
