Textron Aviation has delivered its first Cessna SkyCourier turboprop to Air Bravo Corporation, a Canadian company. This delivery follows the certification of the aircraft by Transport Canada in late 2024. The aircraft will be used for transporting air cargo across Ontario.
Air Bravo, established in 2001 and based in Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Barrie, and Meaford, Ontario, is the first Canadian recipient of the Cessna SkyCourier freighter. The Cessna 408 SkyCourier is designed for single-pilot operations and can be reconfigured for various missions efficiently. Rick Horwath, president and CEO of Air Bravo, commented on the acquisition: "We're proud to be the first SkyCourier customer in Canada, and this aircraft is a perfect fit for supporting the cargo side of our business."
On December 17, 2024, Textron Aviation announced that its large twin-engine utility aircraft had received type certification from Transport Canada. Lannie O'Bannion, Senior Vice President of Global Sales and Flight Operations at Cessna, remarked on this achievement: "The SkyCourier's outstanding performance will be a game-changer for our customers across Canada."
