THE AIRCRAFT

Meet Cessna 408 SkyCourier

Textron launched the SkyCourier programme with FedEx as an important initial customer. The design is arranged around straightforward utility work: fixed landing gear, two wing-mounted turboprops and a large, boxy cabin. Passenger and freight configurations serve different operators.

It is a useful modern counterpart to the single-engine Caravan. The shared manufacturer and utility role do not make them the same aircraft: the SkyCourier has two engines, a larger cabin and its own systems and operating documentation.
