Tassili Travail Aérien at Paris Air Show has signed a purchase agreement for two new Cessna SkyCourier aircraft, marking the first order of an aero-medical equipped SkyCourier and the first SkyCourier order in Africa. Based in Algeria, TTA is a subsidiary of Sonatrach, the national state-owned oil and gas company. TTA provides passenger transportation, aero-medical evacuation, and other special mission services to the energy sector across Algeria.

 Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Mission Sales commented: “The Cessna SkyCourier is a versatile aircraft capable of supporting challenging missions, high payloads and short, rough runways worldwide. TTA’s mission package includes the advanced Lifeport PLUS Powered Medevac System, allowing TTA to quickly switch from passenger or cargo to medevac missions.”

The twin-engine, large utility Cessna SkyCourier turboprop will modernize TTA’s fleet, offering improved efficiency and reliability, and lower operating costs, while supporting transportation and medevac missions. The aircraft will be based in Algiers and Hassi Messaoud, Algeria, and delivery is anticipated in 2026.
