List of aircraft manufacturers (D–G)

This is a list of aircraft manufacturers sorted alphabetically by International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO)/common name. Each listing contains the ICAO/common name (presented in bold), manufacturer's name(s), country and other data, with the known years of operation in parentheses.

The existence of an ICAO name does not mean that a manufacturer is still in operation today, just that some of the aircraft produced by that manufacturer are still flying.
