Cessna Caravan

Overview

• The Caravan has been popular from its start in 1984, when it became the first certified single-engine turboprop. It’s a sturdy, multipurpose, go-anywhere heavy hauler with a strong following among operators in remote areas where runways are unimproved and missions varied. Want to sit tall on the ramp and fly as a seaplane? Then Caravans can be fitted with straight or amphibious floats. A high-density seating option provides seats for up to 14 passengers. The Oasis option, on the other hand, gives customers an executive interior with an eight-seat, surprisingly luxurious cabin.
