Textron Aviation, a Textron company, formed a two-aircraft purchase agreement with AIR Marshall Islands for its twin-engine, large-utility turboprop, the Cessna SkyCourier. The two aircraft (both passenger variants) will be used to support travel throughout the communities within the Marshall Islands.
“The Cessna SkyCourier is an excellent choice to support the mission of AIR Marshall Islands. With its low operating costs and maximum cabin flexibility, the SkyCourier is a real game-changer in regional connectivity,” Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, global sales and flight operations of Textron Aviation, said. “This order is an excellent example of the SkyCourier’s unmatched capabilities for a variety of mission profiles, and also highlights Textron Aviation’s commitment to delivering innovative solutions to meet the evolving needs of the aviation industry.”
“AIR Marshall Islands is thrilled to add the Cessna SkyCourier to our fleet,” Albon Jelke, general manager and CEO of AIR Marshall Islands, said. “This exciting development is a major milestone in our efforts to modernize our aircraft, allowing us to provide more reliable and efficient flights across the Marshall Islands. Our new SkyCouriers are perfectly designed to reach the remote atolls and islands, ensuring that essential air services are accessible to both our local communities and visitors.”
