Key Takeaways:
The Cessna SkyCourier has officially entered passenger service with its first delivery to Western Air, operating as Lana'i Air in Hawaii.
Previously used for cargo by FedEx, the SkyCourier will now fly interisland routes for Lana'i Air in a 19-passenger configuration, which is easily convertible to cargo.
The aircraft is noted for its versatility, cabin flexibility, payload capability, performance, and low operating costs, making it suitable for short-haul missions.
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.
