Textron Aviation, a subsidiary of Textron Inc., has achieved a significant milestone with the Cessna SkyCourier twin utility turboprop receiving type certification from the National Civil Aviation Authority of Brazil (ANAC). This certification opens the doors for the Cessna SkyCourier to enter the vibrant and expansive Brazilian aviation market, poised to address a diverse range of aviation needs.
Manufactured and designed by Textron Aviation Inc., a leader in aviation innovation, the Cessna SkyCourier is engineered to excel in performance, versatility, and cost-efficiency. Its remarkable attributes, including a high payload capacity, short takeoff and landing capabilities, and adaptability for various mission profiles, position it as an ideal choice for operators within the Brazilian market.
“The Cessna SkyCourier’s high payload capacity, short takeoff and landing capability, and cost-efficiency make it a great choice for operators in Brazil”, said Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president of Global Sales and Flight Operations, Textron Aviation. “The aircraft’s versatility and performance equip customers in the region with smart solutions for their unique missions and circumstances,” he further added.
The Cessna SkyCourier offers an unrivaled combination of performance, capacity, and capability, positioning itself as a driving force for enhanced regional connectivity, streamlined cargo transportation, and dependable regional passenger operations.

The aircraft’s adaptability facilitates seamless transitions between different mission profiles, ranging from passenger transport and cargo delivery to specialized missions. Its short takeoff and landing capabilities empower the aircraft to operate from smaller runways, extending access to remote communities and serving locations with limited infrastructure. Notably, the recent certification of the gravel kit option further amplifies the SkyCourier’s capabilities, enabling it to operate efficiently from unimproved runways.
