Key Takeaways:
The Cessna SkyCourier, initially used for cargo by FedEx, is now entering passenger service.
Western Air, operating as Lana'i Air in Hawaii, is the first customer to receive the passenger configuration for interisland routes.
The aircraft is highlighted for its versatility, featuring a flexible cabin design that can easily convert between a 19-passenger setup with large windows and a cargo-only configuration.
With six Cessna SkyCouriers delivered in 2022, flying for launch customer FedEx, the model has yet to enter passenger service—but that’s about to change.
Textron Aviation has delivered the first of its twin turboprop SkyCouriers to Western Air—doing business as Lana’i Air in Hawaii—which plans to operate the model on its interisland routes connecting Oahu to resorts on Lana’i.
