Australian regional airline Hinterland Aviation has signed a purchase agreement with US-based Cessna and Beechcraft aircraft manufacturer Textron Aviation for the first passenger variant of the Cessna SkyCourier aircraft. The aircraft will add to Hinterland's fleet of Cessna Grand Caravans and will be the first airline in Australia to operate the aircraft.
""The aircraft will be a valuable addition to our fleet, allowing us to better serve our clients’ individual needs with room for 19 passengers and access to remote runways,"" said Hinterland Aviation CEO Andrew Clair.
Textron Aviation senior vice president, global sales and flight operations Lannie O'Bannion added: ""With the ability to load, fly, unload and repeat — along with low operating costs and maximum cabin flexibility — the SkyCourier is a game-changer in regional connectivity.""
The aircraft is expected to be delivered in 2026.
