Caverton Helicopters orders another Twin Otter-400

Caverton Helicopters  has signed a firm order agreement with Viking Air (VKN, Victoria Int’l) for one DHC-6-400. The turboprop, the Nigerian operator’s second of the type, will be delivered during the first quarter of next year.
Caverton Helicopters will utilize the turboprop for onshore pipeline surveillance and passenger transfer services for the Cameroon Oil Transportation Company (COTCO) along the 1,070-kilometer underground pipeline route between the Doba oil fields in Chad to the offshore export terminal in Cameroon.

COTCO is a specialized joint venture created between Exxon Mobil, Chevron, Petronas, and the governments of Chad and Cameroon.

Aside from the Twin Otter-400 and an older -300 model, Caverton Helicopters, as its name suggests, also operates AW139, Bell 412 EP, and S-76 helicopters primarily in support of the West African petroleum industry.
