Tropic Air has expanded its fleet with the addition of three Cessna Grand Caravan EXs, bolstering the Belize-based operator’s passenger and cargo services across Latin America. The turboprop singles will support Tropic Air’s regional connections linking Belize with Honduras and Mexico.
Tropic Air, founded in 1979 to support Belize’s growing tourism industry, now operates a fleet built around the Caravan family, delivering air charter and scheduled travel options to customers throughout the region. The aircraft are also central to its cargo services, linking remote destinations and supporting business activity.
“Whether supporting business travel, tourism, or cargo operations, the Cessna Grand Caravan EX is equipped to access diverse terrain and remote runways around the globe,” said Lannie O’Bannion, senior v-p, Textron sales and marketing. “Tropic Air’s continued investment through these aircraft underscores its adaptable performance and dependable comfort—qualities that are ideal for connecting communities and travelers across Latin America.”
The deliveries come as Textron Aviation celebrates the 40th anniversary of the Caravan’s first flight. More than 3,100 Caravan and Grand Caravan aircraft have been delivered to operators worldwide, with certification in 100 countries and more than 25 million flight hours logged globally.
