The global fleet of Cessna Caravans will soon expand with an order from Indonesian operator PT Semuwa Aviasi Mandiri, the company member of PT Yasa Artha Trimanunggal (Yasa - SAM Air), for a Cessna Caravan. The versatile aircraft will strengthen Yasa - SAM Air’s ability to support cargo, logistics and passenger operations and conduct weather modification missions across Indonesia.
Tony Jones, vice president, Sales, Asia-Pacific commented: “The Cessna Caravan delivers proven reliability and operational flexibility, making it an ideal solution for missions across Indonesia. Its performance and versatility enable operators like SAM Air to reach remote destinations, expand regional connectivity and support essential services.”
