Avmax Group and Viking Air Limited has received delivery of two new Viking Series 400 Twin Otter aircraft.
These new aircraft will be used for a CNPCIC contract in Chad, which will fly personnel between N’Djamena and its bases in the south.
At the end of November, the aircraft will be ferried to Chad, and then on 1 January 2020, they will begin flying for the contract.
Mark Maydaniuk, chief executive officer at Avmax, commented: “This multi-million-dollar deal is an excellent example of two Western Canadian companies reaching globally to strengthen aviation. This deal was possible due to Avmax’s strong collaborative relationships with companies both local and worldwide, including China and Chad.
“As the largest Dash 8 lessor in the world, Avmax has a longstanding relationship with the Dash 8 program, now managed by Viking’s parent company Longview Aviation Capital."
