The Viking Twin Otter Series 400, built by Viking Air in Canada, has sold over 100 aircraft to 32 operators in 25 countries. 844 of the earlier Twin Otter Series were built and over 425 are still in operation. The first new 400 Series was delivered in 2010 and since 2012 the aircraft has captured over 55 per cent of the twin-engine 19-seat/utility aircraft market.

The biggest market for the Twin Otter Series 400 is in the Asia-Pacific region with over 30 per cent of sales. The biggest Twin Otter operator in the world serves the Maldives with a seaplane fleet close to 50 aircraft. Twin Otters have operated by various airlines in Nepal for almost 50 years serving various towns in the Himalayan region.

In India, the Twin Otter is very well suited for regional connectivity. Utilising a lot of the existing smaller airfields, it can provide airline service to remote locations throughout India. The amphibious version of the Twin Otter can provide service to islands off the coast of India. The Series 400 Twin Otter is a very versatile aircraft. It is reliable, rugged, easy to maintain and it can very efficiently serve both the private and government sectors in India.
