Cessna’s Caravan turboprop fleet has surpassed 25 million flight hours, “reinforcing the Caravan as the most produced single-engine utility turboprop of all time,” according to officials with Textron Aviation, which manufactures the Caravan and Grand Caravan EX.

Conceived as a rugged utility aircraft with low operating costs, the Cessna Caravan was designed for use in remote areas with extreme weather changes, mountainous terrain, and rough landing conditions, company officials noted.

Caravan owners include government agencies, law enforcement and militaries, air ambulance operators, freight haulers, corporations, and humanitarian organizations.

Certified in 100 countries, more than 3,000 Caravans have been delivered around the world.
