Daily Air Commits to Four Series 400 Twin Otters Through CAVU Aviation Finance



Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore, February 17th, 2016: During the Singapore Air Show, CAVU Aviation Finance LLC is pleased to announce the long-term lease of four Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft to Taiwanese operator Daily Air Corporation. The four Viking manufactured Series 400 Twin Otters will be delivered during Q2 and Q3, 2016 and will replace three Do228s currently operated by Daily Air under a Taiwan government contract to provide essential air services to five offshore islands along the southern coast of Taiwan. The Twin Otter Series 400, with its excellent performance capabilities, was selected as the replacement because of the aircraft’s proven history of operational reliability and economics required for the restrictive operating conditions and short runways on several of the islands being serviced by Daily Air. 

Daily Air has been operating the EAS routes since 2005, and their bid to renew their services contract with the Taiwan CAA for another ten years will be supported by CAVU and Viking Air Limited with provision of new aircraft, training, and spares support as the aircraft enter service later this year. Two of the four Series 400 aircraft were delivered to CAVU Aviation Finance in 2013 and 2015, and the remaining two will be delivered new from the Viking factory in June. These will be the first Series 400 Twin Otter aircraft operating in Taiwan. 

Matthew Lorentzen, President of CAVU Aviation Finance LLC, said “We are pleased to support Daily Air in their successful bid to renew this essential service. The Twin Otter has an unparalleled record of success in this type of operation and Daily Air’s experience will ensure a smooth entry into service for the aircraft. We also appreciate the excellent pre- and post-delivery support from Viking Air Limited. As an original launch customer and leasing partner for the Twin Otter Series 400 program, we are proud to have placed eleven Series 400 Twin Otters into service with eight international customers since 2011. We look forward to continuing to support the growth of the Series 400 family with creative aircraft financing and acquisition solutions.” 

Mark Kuo, President of Daily Air, said “Daily Air has operated the routes between Taiwan and the offshore islands for more than ten years, with 24 scheduled flights per day. After a three-year evaluation, Daily Air determined that the most appropriate aircraft type for the next ten years is the Twin Otter Series 400. The operation of the essential air service is an important part of the Taiwan Government’s policy to support the inhabitants living on the offshore islands. Daily Air is very honored to cooperate with the Government to provide more reliable and safer air transport service with an entirely new fleet for the offshore islands residents. Daily Air is also very happy to establish a long-term partnership with CAVU and Viking to further expand the Asian market for the Canadian-built Twin Otter Series 400.”  

“We are always thrilled to introduce the Series 400 Twin Otter to new global markets,” stated Evan McCorry, Viking vice president International Sales & Marketing. “And the unique opportunity that working with CAVU Aviation Finance affords new customers, combined with Viking’s outstanding product support, ensures a win-win for all parties involved.” 

The Twin Otter Series 400 on display at Viking Air’s Chalet (MSN874) during the Singapore Air Show will be one of the four aircraft leased to Daily Air by CAVU Aviation Finance. 


About CAVU Aviation Finance: CAVU Aviation Finance LLC is an aircraft financing and sales company headquartered in Palm Beach, Florida, USA. Its affiliate, Loch Ard Otters LLC, was a launch customer for the Twin Otter 400 and together they have placed Twin Otter 400s throughout Asia, Europe and North America. Most recently, CAVU Aviation Finance is proud to have provided the Government of Timor Leste with their November 2015 purchase of a Twin Otter 400, the first aircraft owned and operated in the country.

Viking Introduces New Twin Otter Series 400S


In Singapore today, from the Changi Exhibition Centre Viking has announced the introduction of the new Twin Otter Series 400S. The Press release follows:




Changi Exhibition Centre, Singapore, February 16th, 2016: Increasing sales potential in the relatively untapped seaplane market has led Viking Air Limited of Victoria, British Columbia, to introduce the world’s first dedicated seaplane in the 15 to 19-passenger category, the Viking Twin Otter 400S Seaplane. Recognized as the world’s leading seaplane manufacturer, Viking has developed the new 400S variant of the Series 400 to optimize the Twin Otter platform for commercial seaplane operations. 

The Viking 400S is specifically designed as an economical seaplane for commercial operation on short to medium flight segments, and will be offered at a list price under $6.0 Million (USD). Adapted for quick turn-around between cycles, the 400S can achieve a breakeven load factor of around 8 passengers under typical operating conditions. 

To enhance the quick-turn capability of the Viking 400S, an avionics-dedicated battery allows cockpit screens to remain live during short loading intervals while the modified double swing-out aft passenger doors and internal access to the rear baggage compartment further increases loading efficiency. 

The Viking 400S Seaplane features the Honeywell “Super-Lite” integrated digital avionics suite adapted for VFR operations, and comes equipped with 17-passenger seating configuration, new generation composite floats, and Pratt & Whitney PT6A-27 engines incorporating platinum coated CT blades. Avionics upgrade for IFR operation, 19-passenger seating, or combination 15- passenger/cargo configuration are all available options for the 400S. 

With the Viking 400S, particular attention has been paid to the unique challenge corrosion causes for water-based operations. Corrosion resistant packages for the airframe, power plant, and fuel system have all been incorporated as standard equipment in the 400S, along with additional draining, sealing and prevalent use of corrosion-resistant materials throughout the aircraft. The additional corrosion protection and selected modifications will allow the Viking 400S Seaplane to operate in the harshest marine environments with greatly reduced maintenance costs and down time. 

“The Twin Otter is already the world’s most successful commercial seaplane, and with the modifications we are making to streamline the flight deck and optimize the aircraft for seaplane operations, we see our market share expanding even further,” stated Evan McCorry, Viking’s vicepresident of International Sales & Marketing. “Quite simply, no other twin turbo prop aircraft can do what the Twin Otter can do, especially on water.” 

Viking expects customer deliveries for the 400S to commence in first quarter 2017.

Below is a link to a Vimeo based 3 minutes’ teaser of a spectacular 1.5 hr Twin Otter video showing extreme STOL field operations in the Himalaya in the mid eighties. At that time all the STOL fields were "dirt" strips. 

We were 3 pilots from Widerøe Airline of Norway, which were one of the Worlds largest operators of Twin Otters. I was there for 3 years which was the longest period. Our STOL procedures was approved by ICAO. The Canadian Twin Otter expert Capt. Frank Black was sent by ICAO to assist us. We flew on the famous Tenzing-Hillary Airport also known as Lukla, which is often rated: “The Worlds Most Dangerous Airport”. There are many other spectacular airports in the video with “pilots view from the cockpit of Take Offs and Landings. The full  1.5hr. video may be bought for a small fee. Check it Out!
