The Viking Air DHC-6 Twin Otter is a legendary commuter aircraft known for versatility and rugged performance. Configured for about 18 passengers, it features a stand-up cabin and excellent short runway capabilities. Cruising at roughly 320-350 km/h, depending on altitude and load, it can cover regional legs of up to 800 km when conditions are favorable. With its twin turboprops and excellent climb performance, the Twin Otter is often used on remote routes, island chains, or rough strips. It’s ideal for operators needing reliability, access, and consistent commuter service into less developed airfields.
