Overview: Twin Otter
The brand new Vikings DHC-6 Series 400 Twin Otter aircraft offer air conditioned cabins and leather seats that are more comfortable for guests and an upgraded cockpit for pilots which includes a state of the art digital avionics systems and operating features to enhance operational reliability and an easier transition for Fiji Link pilots onto the ATR fleet.
With versatility to land on various terrain, it is the aircraft of choice for Fiji Link’s domestic operations, proving well-suited to Fiji’s domestic operating environment made up of smaller airports and short airstrips. Fiji Links operates Twin Otter aircraft domestic in Fiji from Nadi and Suva to Rotuma, Lakeba, Kadavu, Cicia, Vanuabalavu, Taveuni, Koro and Savusavu.
