YOUR SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY
The Cessna Grand Caravan EX is perfect for bush airstrips due to its large wheels, very efficient high wing, and powerful engine. Its wide, spacious, air-conditioned cabin and large windows with unrestricted views make the Caravan extremely popular with our guests. The four-door cargo pod located under the fuselage means a very generous luggage-carrying capacity. The Caravan is known for its safety and reliability.
