Seen departing Malta International Airport on April 28, 2012 on its delivery flight is Viking Twin Otter Srs 400 C-GUVA (c/n 854), the first example for Petro Air of Libya. The aircraft became 5A-PAC upon being handed over to its new owner. Twin Otter c/n 847 was initially destined for Petro Air and was painted in its colours, before being reallocated to the Peruvian Air Force because of the revolution in Libya. The company lost five DHC-6 Twin Otter Srs 300s during the uprising and has started buying second-hand examples as replacements. CHC Cameroon sold it TJ-CQE (c/n 662) in late 2011, the aircraft becoming 5A-DDC. The number of new-built Srs 400s ordered by Petro Air has not been disclosed by either the manufacturer or customer.

Twin Otter XXI века. Универсальность Twin Otter делает его идеальным самолетом общего назначения для многих операторов по всему миру, и одна из ведущих канадских компаний "Viking Air" приобрела сертификат на DHC-6 Twin Otter у фирмы "Bombardier". В 2007 году компания объявила о своем намерении возобновить Выпуск Twin Otter на своем заводе в Калгари. Новый самолет получил обозначение Viking Air DHC-6-400. Он оснащен турбовинтовыми двигателями Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-34, более мощными, чем используемые на Series 300 ТВД PT6A-27. Первый серийный самолет поднялся в воздух 16 февраля 2010 года и был передан покупателю - авиакомпании "Zimex Aviation" - во время авиасалона в Фарнборо в июле 2010 года. Помимо действующих операторов DHC-6 заказы были получены от новых покупателей, в том числе ВМС Вьетнама, пожелавших приобрести шесть машин (две в VIP-варианте). Четыре остальных самолета, получивших обозначение Guardian 400, предназначены для патрулирования вьетнамских прибрежных вод и проведения поисково-спасательных операций. Все шесть самолетов получат амфибийное шасси.

Вынужденная посадка гидросамолета на сушу должна выполняться как можно аккуратнее, с возможно минимальным углом пикирования и на минимальных оборотах двигателя. Большая площадь поплавков при вынужденной посадке на сушу компенсирует отсутствие тормозного устройства, имеющегося на "сухопутных" самолетах, но выполнить с таким грузом самостоятельный взлет с суши гидросамолет не сможет. Поэтому приходится применять специальные колесные тележки - во многих случаях, при соответствующем характере местности, это позволяет все же совершить взлет. Такие же тележки применяют при первом взлете нового гидросамолета с аэродрома завода-изготовителя, как на этой фотографии с DHC-6 Twin Otter.
