Cessna 408 SkyCourier

The Cessna 408 SkyCourier is an American utility aircraft designed and built by Textron Aviation. First flown in 2020 and entering service in 2022, the SkyCourier is a twin-turboprop, high-wing utility aircraft designed for cargo and passenger operations. Available as a 19-passenger regional airliner, a dedicated cargo variant that can carry three LD3 unit load devices with 6,000 lb payload, and a combi version with 9 passenger seats and rear-cabin cargo area. The aircraft features a large cargo door, fixed tricycle landing gear, Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-65SC engines, and Garmin G1000 NXi avionics. The SkyCourier was developed primarily for FedEx Express feeder operations and regional cargo carriers, offering excellent STOL performance and operational flexibility. It represents Cessna's return to the twin-engine turboprop utility market.
