On April 29, 2005, Viking Air Limited, a Victoria aerospace company, acquired exclusive rights to manufacture and distribute spare parts for the de Havilland fleet of heritage aircraft from Bombardier Inc. in connection with the acquisition of certain assets of Bombardier's Commercial Service Centre (CSC).  The acquisition also involves the transfer of sales, customer service and support systems for the DHC-1 through DHC-7 models of aircraft—the Chipmunk, Beaver, Otter, Caribou, Buffalo, Twin Otter and DASH 7—from CSC to Viking.  This deal makes Viking the leading spare parts manufacturer and distributor for the de Havilland heritage aircraft product line.

Viking Air Limited was represented by Davies Ward Phillips & Vineberg LLP, with a team that included Gerold Goldlist and Dale Osadchuk (corporate) and Ian Crosbie (tax).
