We bring seaplane aviation closer to people
I went to see the Viking Air aircraft factory in British Columbia six years ago, then it started production of the new Twin Otter Series 400. The prototype that could not be photographed shown on wheels and its amphibious floats rested himself in the factory courtyard between the old timer seaplanes.
Today the Canadian aircraft manufacturer Viking Air Limited introduced the world’s first dedicated seaplane in the near 20 passenger category at the Singapore Airshow. In the picture you can see the Viking floats 400S will be sold a year’s time.
We received further news and pictures of Viking Air from Paris and many people commented on our earlier article about the Canadian-Chinese huge deal.
Yesterday on Paris Airshow Viking Air Limited of Victoria, BC, Canada and Reignwood Aviation Group of Beijing, China signed strategic partnership agreement with commercial commitment for 50 Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft. The size of the deal is $ 350 million.
