Textron Aviation has announced the first delivery of its twin-engine, large-utility turboprop, the Cessna SkyCourier, into Canada. The freighter variant of the aircraft has been delivered to Air Bravo Corporation, a passenger, cargo, and air ambulance flight service provider operating from Thunder Bay, Sudbury, Barrie, and Meaford, Ontario. Air Bravo will use the aircraft to transport cargo across the region.
Designed for versatility, the SkyCourier can be operated by a single pilot, making it an ideal solution for air freight, passenger transport, and special missions. Its adaptable configuration allows it to efficiently handle a wide range of operations, delivering strong returns on investment and supporting missions in remote areas.
Founded in 2001, Air Bravo has grown into one of Ontario’s leading air carriers, offering dependable passenger, cargo, and air ambulance services to airstrips across North America.
“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,” said Rick Horwath, President and CEO of Air Bravo. “The aircraft has a roomy cockpit, it’s easy to fly, and the avionics are user-friendly. We look forward to putting it to use.”
