Textron Aviation Celebrates First Delivery of the New Cessna SkyCourier to Launch Customer FedEx Express Textron Aviation's first delivery of the Cessna SkyCourier twin utility turboprop to FedEx Express is the first of 50 freighter aircraft that global logistics firm FedEx Express ordered as Cessna SkyCourier's launch customer. The clean-sheet aircraft achieved Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) type certification in March 2022. The Cessna SkyCourier is designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. company. " FedEx took delivery of its first Cessna in the mid-1980s and the two companies have had a collaborative relationship over the four decades since, " said Ron Draper, president and CEO, Textron Aviation. " We're thrilled to deliver this aircraft that will help FedEx serve its customers more efficiently as it is designed with the option to carry industry-standard prepacked cargo containers. We believe many other air freight, passenger and special mission operators also will benefit from the winning combination of low operating costs and unparalleled lift capacity that the new Cessna SkyCourier brings to the market.
