How safe is the DeHavilland Twin Otter? Are they more prone to crash then other planes, or are all the stories just fear mongering?

Any plane used heavily by Nepalese airlines shuttling people to and from the most mountainous regions on Earth is going to have a higher perceived rate of accidents.

It's a counter argument when someone suggested the crash of DeHavilland Twin Otter that killed a politician was a CIA assassination.

Quoted By:

Loganair operate a Twin Otter from Glasgow to Barra.

Fun fact, Barra airport is nothing but a beach and a control tower since it's a remote Scottish island. The airport can close due to wind or due to high tides, so it's one of those weird things.

These aircraft are safe in Europe, but they're very rare to see.

Fear mongering. Used to live in the Northwest Territory, Canada and twin otters are everywhere. Rare to hear them crashing.

So if you don't hear it crashing it never happened?
