Viking assigns Series 400 Twin Otter sales representative in central Africa

Viking Air Limited of Victoria, British Columbia, has assigned Skyjet Aviation Services Ltd. of Kaduna, Nigeria, to become a sales representative for the Viking Twin Otter Series 400 in multiple central African countries, including Nigeria, Tanzania, Kenya, Egypt, Uganda, Sudan, South Sudan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Chad, Mali, the Central African Republic, Ethiopia, Somalia, and Gabon. The Maldives and the Seychelles archipelagos, proven markets for the Series 400 Twin Otter, are also included in the sales rep agreement.

Skyjet has established itself as a premiere sales organization throughout the African continent, representing Gulfstream Aerospace in the rapidly expanding African business aviation sector. As an approved aircraft maintenance organization and certified charter operator, Skyjet's extensive hands-on experience with a wide variety of twin engine and turbine aircraft will further benefit new customers of the Twin Otter Series 400 in the region.

“Adding the versatile Twin Otter Series 400 to Skyjet's sales roster will not only benefit their existing customer base by providing additional options for their operations,” commented Evan McCorry, Viking vice president of International sales & marketing, “but will systematically introduce the aircraft into new markets throughout Africa where the aircraft's robust design and STOL performance will excel.”
