Karachi-based United Energy Pakistan (UEP) has signed a firm order agreement with Viking Air (VKN, Victoria International) for one DHC-6-400 aircraft to be delivered during the second quarter of 2018.
The aircraft, which will be the first of the type in service for the Pakistani petroleum exploration and extraction specialist as well as Pakistan as a whole, will be optimized for industrial support operations. It will also be used by UEP on an unpaved airstrip for personnel and materials transport from Karachi to the company’s base camps in the Badin and Mirpurkhas Khipro Concession areas.
“The Twin Otter has been previously owned and operated by UEP for decades and it has been a part of our Company’s history,” United Energy Pakistan’s Head of Management Services, Sadruddin Hasan Ali, said. “We’re excited to now be bringing the new Series 400 to Pakistan."
