Caravan Eyes Russia
Cessna Grand Caravan will benefit from easing of single-engine
restrictions. |
Cessna's highly successful Grand Caravan utility aircraft comes to
EBACE with a substantial sales boost to Europe in prospect. Cessna's
regional sales manager Europe and Russia, Brian Willett, told Show
News that he is within months of inking a deal to sell at least 10
Caravans to Russia. He is also excited by the prospect of approval
for commercial single-engine IFR operations by Europe's Joint Aviation
Authorities. That move could spur immediate sales of 20 or more Caravans
for cargo operations in the region.
Cessna booked a record 125 orders for Caravans last year. The worldwide
fleet of its single-turbine workhorses exceeds 1,200, with more
than 4.5 million fleet hours logged.
