Yasa-Sam Air has ordered a Cessna Caravan, via parent company PT Semuwa Aviasi Mandiri, to support missions across Indonesia. This airplane will augment the Caravan and Grand Caravan EX it currently uses for charter and logistics missions.

The addition of a third unit will enable Sam Air to “enhance [its] ability to serve domestic charter routes, logistics services, and public service missions across Indonesia,” said aircraft manufacturer Textron Aviation. Tony Jones, Textron Aviation v-p of sales for Asia-Pacific, added that the Caravan’s “proven reliability and operational flexibility [make] it an ideal solution for missions across Indonesia.”
