Aero Assets Asia has signed a purchase agreement for 12 Cessna Grand Caravan EX Amphibian aircraft.
The transaction is with Hainan Haizhi General Aviation, a subsidiary of Northern-Heli Aviation Group China.
“The selection of the Cessna Grand Caravan EX Amphibian was a rigorous technical decision, with a focus on our Seaplane Asia’s existing and growing operation with Siam Seaplane in Thailand, Santai Seaplane in Indonesia, Samra Seaplane in Cambodia and more to come,” said Fabrice Mouton, director of Aero Assets Asia and chief technical officer of Seaplane Asia Assets.
"Its reliable Pratt & Whitney PT6A engine and robust airframe, combined with the proven Wipline floats, make it the most commercially viable and safest platform for continuous operations in diverse environments."
Aero Assets Asia is Seaplane Asia's joint venture focussed on aircraft asset management and trading.
