Lannie O’Bannion, Textron Aviation’s senior vice-president of global sales and flight operations, says the SkyCourier is poised to 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 across the region,” he says.
The passenger variant of the SkyCourier seats 19, with a maximum range of 920nm (1,704km) and cruise speed of 210kt (389km/h). The aircraft is powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engines.
Earlier this year, Textron Aviation received Federal Aviation Administration certification of the SkyCourier combi and delivered the first of type configured to carry both cargo and passengers to Everts Air in Fairbanks, Alaska.
About 30 SkyCourier turboprops are in operation globally.
