First Cessna SkyCourier delivered to Mexico for FlexCoah freight operations

The first Cessna SkyCourier to be delivered in Mexico has entered service with cargo transportation provider FlexCoah. This move marks a milestone for the aircraft's expansion in Latin America and for the company's growing air freight operations. The freighter variant of the twin-engine turboprop will be operated by Altair, FlexCoah's aviation subsidiary, and is expected to enhance the company's cargo capacity and speed across domestic routes, according to a release from Textron."The Cessna SkyCourier's combination of reliability, payload capacity, and mission flexibility makes it a powerful asset for operators looking to scale their operations while maintaining cost-efficiency," said Lannie O'Bannion, senior vice president of sales andamp; marketing. "The delivery of the Cessna SkyCourier to FlexCoah reflects the aircraft's growing role in transforming regional logistics." FlexCoah was founded in 2009 in Saltillo, Mexico. It is a nationally recognized freight transportation company specializing in long-haul and local cargo services. The SkyCourier will complement the company's existing Cessna Caravan fleet, supporting large-scale freight hauls and offering customers additional logistics options. "For years, our company has been dedicated to moving goods safely and reliably on the road. By adding aircraft to our fleet, we're opening the skies for our customers as well," said Chava de las Fuentes, general manager, FlexCoah. "This investment allows us to offer faster delivery times, connect with new markets, and give our clients the flexibility to choose between ground and air transportation depending on their needs. It's about evolving with our customers and making sure we continue to be their trusted logistics partner, whether by highway or by air." Textron Aviation says the SkyCourier's global footprint continues to grow, with recent milestones including a first delivery to Canada and an initial order from Mongolia, underscoring the aircraft's versatility across a range of markets and mission profiles. The high-wing, twin-engine turboprop freighter variant is designed for air freight, commuter, and special-mission operations. It can hold up to three LD3 shipping containers and a maximum payload of 6,000 pounds. The 19-passenger version features crew and passenger doors and large cabin windows.
