Twin Otters, made in Russia?
Canadian company Viking Air and Moscow-based Vityaz Avia Corp.

Canadian company Viking Air and Moscow-based Vityaz Avia Corp. have signed a memorandum of understanding for the potential development of a final assembly facility in eastern Russia for the new Twin Otter 400.

Viking would establish quality, maintenance and training procedures and the facility would also potentially become a factory endorsed service center (FESC) and Series 400 training complex, once the type has been introduced in the territory. Viking Air launched the DHC-6 Twin Otter Series 400 production program in 2007.
