Canada’s Viking Air has sold 10 of its Twin Otter Series 400 turboprops to Global Aerospace Logistics of Abu Dhabi. The agreement, which represents the largest order to date, calls for delivery of six landplane-configured DHC-6 Series 400s and four Guardian Twin Otter floatplanes, slated for use throughout the United Arab Emirates in both government and commercial applications.

The deal includes special-order options for upgraded PT6A-35 hot-and-high-performance engines, float landing gear installations, interchangable VIP/high-density interiors, tactical avionics and sensor packages, along with a support package of spares, ground support equipment and flight/technical ground crew training. If exercised, the options could push the value of the deal past $65 million.
