UK aircraft manufacturer Britten-Norman has received Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA) type certification for the BN2T-4S Islander, the Rolls-Royce Model 250–powered turboprop variant of the company’s iconic utility aircraft. 

The BN2T-4S, certified under TCCA Type Certificate A-92, also includes a series of additional enhancements that further elevate its operational effectiveness, including an increased Maximum Take-Off Weight of 8,925 lbs.
 

This approval complements existing Type Certificates held with the UK CAA, EASA and FAA, and marks a significant step in Britten-Norman’s global expansion. Certification in Canada opens new opportunities across one of the world’s largest remote and regional aviation markets, where operators rely on proven, rugged and reliable short-field aircraft capable of year-round operation.

New Islander aircraft build slots are now available, as well as pre-owned BN2T-4S models, currently receiving full OEM refurbishment at Britten-Norman’s UK MRO facility. Operators can choose whichever route best fits their needs when joining the Islander fleet.
