Textron Aviation delivers first combi Cessna SkyCourier

The aircraft was delivered to Everts Air, a Part 135 operator serving passenger, cargo and charter demand throughout Alaska. Everts is also a Part 121 operator, providing cargo and on-demand charter throughout North, Central and South America, as well as the Caribbean Islands.

The aircraft will join the Everts Air Alaska 135 fleet, which also includes a Cessna SkyCourier freighter variant and six Cessna Caravans.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) granted certification for the SkyCourier Combi interior configuration in May.

The recently certified option adds more flexibility to the 19-seat passenger variant of the aircraft by allowing operators to modify the interior to accommodate passengers and cargo at the same time.

In addition to the existing gravel kit and full freighter conversion options, the Combi conversion expands the aircraft’s variety of use in global markets.
