Cessna SkyCourier Combi configuration kit recently achieved certification from the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil and joined the fleet of Brazilian charter company Cleiton Táxi Aéreo. This marks the first delivery of the SkyCourier into South America.
CTA recently took delivery of a passenger variant of the twin-engine, large-utility turboprop equipped with conversion kits that enable the standard 19-passenger interior to be configured to a 9-passenger and cargo Combi, or to a full freighter configuration. The aircraft also has the optional gravel kit installed, allowing it to land on unpaved runways and access more remote locations. CTA’s order includes two Cessna SkyCourier aircraft of the same configuration, with the second expected to deliver in 2026.
Lannie O’Bannion, senior vice president, Sales & Marketing commented: “The Cessna SkyCourier is an excellent aircraft to support regional missions and services across South America. We look forward to seeing the impact this versatile and hardworking turboprop will have on CTA’s operations.”
Founded by Cleiton Sérgio de Sousa, Cleiton Táxi Aéreo first became a customer of Textron Aviation with the purchase of the Cessna 210 Centurion in 1995 to begin charter operations across the Amazon region. Since then, the company has operated a fleet ranging from the Cessna Caravan to the Beechcraft King Air, each aircraft fulfilling a variety of special missions and charter operations across the region.
