The Cessna SkyCourier Combi configuration kit recently achieved certification from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil (ANAC) and joined the fleet of Brazilian charter company Cleiton Táxi Aéreo (CTA).
This marks the first delivery of the SkyCourier into South America.
The Cessna SkyCourier is designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company.
CTA recently took delivery of a passenger variant of the twin-engine, large-utility turboprop equipped with conversion kits that enable the standard 19-passenger interior to be configured to a 9-passenger and cargo Combi, or to a full freighter configuration.
The aircraft also has the optional gravel kit installed, allowing it to land on unpaved runways and access more remote locations.
CTA’s order includes two Cessna SkyCourier aircraft of the same configuration, with the second expected to deliver in 2026.
Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, sales & marketing said: “The Cessna SkyCourier is an excellent aircraft to support regional missions and services across South America.
“We look forward to seeing the impact this versatile and hardworking turboprop will have on CTA’s operations.”
