Key Takeaways:
The Cessna SkyCourier, previously delivered for cargo operations to FedEx, is now entering passenger service.
Western Air (Lana'i Air) is the first customer to operate the passenger-configured SkyCourier for interisland routes in Hawaii.
The aircraft is highlighted for its versatility, flexible cabin design (easily converting between cargo and 19-passenger configurations), strong payload capability, performance, and low operating costs.
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.
