CESSNA CARAVAN SURPASSES 25 MILLION FLIGHT HOURS

Textron Aviation has announced that its Cessna Caravan has surpassed 25 million flight hours. This impressive milestone reinforces the popular turboprop family as the most-produced single-engine utility turboprop of all time.

Originally designed as a workhorse with huge abilities but low operating costs, the Caravan was ideal for operating in remote areas with extreme weather changes, mountainous terrain, and rough landing conditions. This ruggedness also made the Cessna a hugely versatile aircraft for general use, with the aircraft’s versatility becoming renowned across the globe. Caravan customers include government agencies, law enforcement and militaries, air ambulance operators, freight haulers, corporations, and humanitarian organisations, all of which help continue to elevate the turboprop’s legacy.

“The Cessna Caravan’s versatility and reliability have solidified its position as the leading aircraft in the utility turboprop category, with the program surpassing a remarkable achievement of 25 million flight hours,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president of global Sales and Flight Operations “This accomplishment is a testament to the steadfast confidence our customers have in the Caravan to fulfill their missions, deliver solutions and improve lives around the world.”

Textron Aviation remains dedicated to enhancing the Caravan’s capabilities, ensuring it continues to meet the evolving needs of pilots, passengers, and aviation enthusiasts across the globe. The aircraft’s cockpit features Garmin’s G1000 NXi next-generation integrated flight deck to offer customers access to the latest technology and connectivity.
