Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company, today announced that its twin-engine, large utility turboprop, the Cessna SkyCourier, has been awarded type certification by Transport Canada Civil Aviation (TCCA), expanding the aircraft’s ability to support operational activities in some of the most remote areas of North America.
The first SkyCourier in the region – a freighter variant – is expected to be delivered this year to Air Bravo Corporation, a passenger, cargo and air ambulance flight service company based out of Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Barrie and Meaford, Ontario since 2001
Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Global Sales and Flight Operations said: “The SkyCourier’s outstanding performance will be a game-changer for our customers across Canada.
“The maximum flexibility and low operating costs of this aircraft make it an excellent choice for a wide range of missions throughout the region.”
