Viking Air Limited of Victoria, British Columbia, has assigned Searca S.A. of Bogota, Colombia, to become a sales representative for the Viking Twin Otter Series 400 in Colombia, expanding the Series 400 Twin Otter sales network to over 20 representatives worldwide.

Searca is the largest air charter company in Colombia, operating a combined fleet of 30 jet and twin turbo-prop aircraft that are maintained in-house to the highest quality and safety standards. This vast operational and maintenance experience positions Searca as a leader in the Latin American aerospace industry, and is a natural fit for representing the Viking Twin Otter Series 400 in Colombia.

David Caporali, Viking regional sales director for Latin America, stated, “Searca is very well positioned in the Colombian market, and we are proud to have them join Viking's sales force. They share our vision of the enormous opportunities for the Series 400 Twin Otter in Colombia, specifically for military operations in the Amazon.”
