The Cessna Grand Caravan first flew in the late 1980’s and since this time it has evolved into a class leading aircraft that is impressive from both an operational and performance perspective as well as passenger comfort and amenity.
While the early aircraft were shorter and relied largely on an analogue cockpit, todays Cessna Grand Caravan sports a full glass cockpit, longer fuselage and under belly cargo pod meaning it is well equipped to carry up to 10 passengers plus a pilot over 1,500km at a cruise speed of 300km/h.
The Cessna Grand Caravan is powered by a state of the art turbine engine (turbo-prop) delivering the highest levels of reliability and power meaning that the Cessna Grand Caravan can operate from some of the shortest runways in Australia. Adding to this, the Cessna Grand Caravan also has the benefit of converting to electric propulsion in the foreseeable future making this aircraft a sustainable choice for airlines.
Many airlines across Australia have already chosen the Grand Caravan as the backbone of their flying operations due to its impressive operating economics, outstanding performance and passenger appeal. Many of these operators have deployed the Cessna Grand Caravan on scheduled passenger services, particularly across northern Australia, as well as air touring, scenic flying, cargo operations and emergency services.
The Lake Macquarie to Sydney route is one of the most picturesque in all of Australia, providing passengers with unbeatable views of Sydney Harbour, the scenic coastline and majestic Lake Macquarie. Everyone that has flown this route in the past remembers not only how convenient flying to Sydney Kingsford-Smith Airport is but also the amazing scenery as we cruise between five and eight thousand feet.
The Cessna Grand Caravan with its large windows and air conditioned cabin makes for a comfortable hop. Whether you are connecting onto a domestic or international destination or returning home, boarding a Cessna Grand Caravan will be a great way to start and finish your journey.
