DHC3 Otter

The DHC3 Otter flew in Greenland for the first time in 1960. When Greenland Air took over domestic flights in 1962 it also took over the Canso and Otter aircraft KGH had previously used. There was a wet lease arrangement which included aircraft, crew and maintenance. The Catalinas stayed in Greenland until the Sikorsky S61N arrived in 1965
