Finistair is a regional airline offering a varied, modern fleet to meet a wide range of needs, from scheduled services to specific air surveillance missions and pilot training.
Cessna Caravan
The Cessna Caravan is one of the pillars of our fleet, particularly appreciated for its versatility and reliability. This turboprop fixed-gear aircraft is equipped with a belly hold that is ideal for short or basic runways.
With its significant boarding capacity (nine seats, one stretcher, 500 kg of freight) and its robustness, the Cessna Caravan is perfectly suited to the varied and sometimes demanding conditions of our island destinations.
It is used for:
- Commercial transport (CTA approval): It provides regular services to the islands of Ouessant (Délégation de Service Public) and Belle-Île, offering a practical and fast transport solution for islanders and visitors.
- First flights: For those who want to discover the pleasure of flying, the Cessna Caravan is ideal for first flights, offering breathtaking views and an unforgettable experience.
- Pilot training (ATO approval): Finistair is a training centre where professional pilots come to take their qualification on the Cessna Caravan.
