Cessna Sells Eight Caravans

Cessna Aircraft (Booth No. 602) has announced the sale to two undisclosed customers of eight Caravan turboprops. Four of the aircraft will be outfitted with the Oasis corporate interior for an unidentified Russian buyer, which will use them to augment its Moscow-based fleet of corporate helicopters. The other four are bound for the Middle East. A follow-on to an eight-aircraft order placed in 2005, they will be delivered next year in standard configuration.
