Leasing Group Orders Reliable Robotics Flight Automation System
The customer wants to convert 30 Cessna Caravans for cargo flights
Reliable Robotics' Cessna Caravan test aircraft
Reliable Robotics plans to convert Cessna Caravan aircraft to use its flight automation system for customers including leasing group ASL Aviation.

Leasing group ASL Aviation Holdings this week placed deposits covering orders for 30 of Reliable Robotics’ flight automation systems to be installed in Cessna 208B Caravan aircraft. The agreement, announced on May 2, gives the Ireland-based group early delivery slots for the technology, for which Reliable Robotics is now seeking certification.

The companies have been collaborating on plans to automate cargo operations and said they aim to expand the use of the flight automation systems to other aircraft types in the next 12 months. ASL Aviation includes eight carriers located in Europe, Australia, Asia, and Africa providing wet and damp lease services covering aircraft, crew, maintenance, and insurance. It currently has a combined fleet of more than 160 aircraft.
