Viking’s Twin Otter 400 utility transport is making its LABACE debut in the form of an aircraft borrowed from a Peruvian mining company. The new-build aircraft is a thoroughly modernized version of de Havilland Canada’s classic, for which Viking acquired the type certification in 2005. It features uprated Pratt & Whitney PT6A-34 engines, fully integrated Honeywell Primus Apex avionics that significantly enhance safety, composite components, and around 800 other modifications to the original.
