Textron Aviation has delivered its first Cessna SkyCourier to Canadian operator Air Bravo. In operation since 2001, the Ontario-based passenger, cargo, and air ambulance services provider will deploy the turboprop twin as an aerial freighter in the region. The aircraft can carry three LD3 shipping containers with 6,000 pounds of payload capability.

With the ability to be flown by just one pilot, the large utility high-wing aircraft—powered by a pair of Pratt & Whitney PT6A-65SC turboprop engines and equipped with the Garmin G1000 NXi flight deck—received type certification from Transport Canada approval last month.
