Canada’s Viking Air is strengthening and expanding its 18-strong worldwide dealer network for its Twin Otter Series 400 with the appointment of new representatives and sales territories.

US business aircraft dealership Fenix Aviation will promote the twin-engined turboprop across Central and South America, including Belize, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and French Guiana. Bogota-headquartered charter company Searca will sell and support the Series 400 in Colombia.

Meanwhile, Nigeria’s SkyJet Aviation Services has expanded its sales territory to include the Caribbean. The Kaduna–headquartered company already represents Viking in sub-Saharan Africa, Libya, Egypt, the Seychelles and the Maldives.

Viking has notched up around 150 orders for the modernised version of the old de Havilland Canada DHC-6 since launching the programme in 2007. More than 75 of the $7 million types are in service worldwide.
