Viking looks for opportunity in Indonesia - Jakarta Post

The Jakarta Post | Wed, 02/29/2012 10:55 AM

JAKARTA: Canadian aircraft maker Viking Air Ltd., producer of the Twin Otter 400 series, is looking for more business opportunities in the Indonesian market this year, an executive said in Jakarta on Tuesday.

“Chartered flight business is growing in Indonesia, and we are pleased to offer aircraft that can operate in the world’s harshest environments,” Robert Mauracher, Viking’s vice president for business development and general manager MRO, said on the sidelines of demonstration flights in Halim Perdanakusumah Airport, East Jakarta.

He said that Viking has received orders from several countries, including the Government of Peru, and a second major purchase agreement for four Viking Series 400 Twin Otters has been executed with PT Airfast Indonesia. Each aircraft costs US$6 million.

The aircraft are scheduled for delivery in 2012 and 2014, and will be configured for land operations as Airfast Indonesia aims to expand its current fleet of three legacy Twin Otters used on charter in the mining industry.

“This summer, we are going to start certification with your regulator,” he said.

The aircraft will also be made available for viewing by commercial, military and government organizations in Surabaya on March 1.  (nfo)

Hogan Looks to Bolster Clients' Ties to Israeli Businesses - Law.com

Hogan Lovells is looking to boost its efforts to assist clients with business interests in Israel, the firm announced Monday.

The firm has launched its Israel Regional Practice Development Team to seek opportunities to augment the legal services it gives to companies that do business in the country, or are looking to pursue opportunities there. About 50 Hogan lawyers around the world work on business matters related to Israel, said former Sen. Norm Coleman, R-Minn., chairman of the steering committee for the team.

The firm established the team to improve its coordination on issues concerning business in the country, he said. "We see Israel as a growth opportunity, and we are looking to maximize that opportunity," said Coleman, a Washington-based senior governmental adviser with the firm.

Coleman spent a stint as the top Republican on the Senate Foreign Relations Near Eastern and South and Central Asian affairs subcommittee when he was a senator from 2003 to 2009. The panel deals with matters concerning U.S. relations with Middle East nations.

Hogan does not have an office in Israel -- but it has a Middle East presence. The firm has offices in Abu Dhabi and Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and operates in Jeddah and Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, through a partnership with Al-Yaqoub Attorneys & Legal Advisers.
