Textron Aviation has earmarked European certification of the Cessna SkyCourier for mid-2025 as the turboprop twin completes its debut demonstration tour of the continent. The 19-day tour began on July 1 and covered France, Germany, Greece, the UK, and the Channel Islands.

Speaking to AIN at the SkyCourier’s final stop in Jersey today, Textron Aviation senior v-p of global sales and flight operations Lannie O’Bannion described customer feedback regarding the aircraft as very positive. “There was already a strong interest in the SkyCourier in Europe based on the aircraft’s specification,” he said. “But this demo tour has allowed us to grow our pipeline of potential customers and close in on sales. The prospects for the SkyCourier here are enormous.”
