Textron Aviation's SkyCourier is expanding its global reach in the Southeast Asia region with approval for the Philippines.

 Textron Aviation’s Cessna SkyCourier received validation from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines, extending the utility twin turboprop aircraft’s reach to remote areas of southeast Asia.

Plans call for delivery of the first SkyCourier in the region in the second half of 2025 to Leading Edge Air Services Corp. (Leascor). A subsidiary of ACDI Multipurpose Cooperative in the Philippines, Leascor opted for a 19-passenger variant of the aircraft.
