By GlobalDataThe FAP uses the Viking programme to maintain spare part stock levels and manage external repair and upgrade vendors with minimal bureaucracy, enabling the airforce to optimise the use of the Twin Otter Series 400 fleet.
Delivered to the FAP between 2011 and 2014, the Twin Otter Series 400 aircraft are configured with land gear and floats.
This helps provide infrastructure support and medevac services to remote communities, and can also be used for military missions such as environmental monitoring and troop transportation in inaccessible regions of Peru.
