History of the airplane

The Cessna 208 Caravan was conceived in 1980/1981 as the first

turboprop-powered general aviation aircraft.The Cessna Caravan has proven itself to be one of the most

reliable, versatile, and cost-effective airplanes ever built.

As an airliner, the Caravan connects smaller communities to major

cities throughout the world. Its economy, reliability, simple

maintenance, and resilience make it invaluable to growing

businesses.

Every month, more than 1500 Caravans log more than 71,000

hours that's more than half a billion miles since the Caravan first

took off. Most of those were logged flying freight, bringing

commerce to the far corners of the world.
