Viking Air Resurrects the Twin Otter

David Godsall, September 5th 2011
Like its plane, the Twin Otter, Viking Air's manufacturing blends innovation with the tried and true. Entering the shop floor of the Viking Air Ltd. parts factory, the first thing you notice is people, lots of them.

After spending its first 36 years refurbishing these beloved flying trucks and making parts, Viking bought the rights to build the Twin Otter in 2006.
