(Photo: Business Wire)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThe Cessna Grand Caravan EX is designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nTextron Aviation\u2019s initial deliveries of the Cessna Grand Caravan EX aircraft to Surf Air Mobility, a company accelerating the adoption of electric regional air travel, are expected to begin in Q2 2022. Surf Air anticipates that its hybrid electric system for the Grand Caravan, upon certification, will power a 9-seat variant of the iconic single-engine turboprop.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cHybrid electric propulsion technology, deployed at scale for environmental and commercial benefits, is an important part of the future of travel,\u201d said Ron Draper, President &amp; CEO, Textron Aviation. \u201cThis relationship with Surf Air Mobility leverages the unique performance capabilities of the Cessna Grand Caravan in both passenger and cargo operations and continues to demonstrate the aircraft\u2019s adaptability for innovative missions and configurations.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe hybrid electric Cessna Grand Caravan aircraft is anticipated to be utilized by Surf Air Mobility across its own network, connecting more airports with short-haul direct service across the U.S. on a path to creating a regional mass transport platform to sustainably connect communities.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThis is an opportunity to showcase the combined expertise and technologies of both Textron Aviation and Surf Air Mobility,\u201d said Rob Scholl, senior vice president, Textron eAviation. \u201cThe outstanding capabilities and versatility of the Grand Caravan make it an ideal aircraft to take advantage of this new technology.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThe Cessna Grand Caravan EX is one of the most adaptable and prolific aircraft in flight today. Through this exclusive relationship with Textron Aviation, we\u2019re able to make electrified aircraft broadly available to existing and new operators, and bring the benefits of lower cost, lower emission air travel to customers faster and at scale,\u201d said Sudhin Shahani, Co-founder, CEO &amp; Executive Chairman, Surf Air Mobility. \u201cWe believe electrifying the Cessna Grand Caravan is the most significant step that can be made toward reduced emission flying with the quickest path to market.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe transactions between Textron Aviation and Surf Air Mobility are subject to certain closing conditions, including the receipt of financing by Surf Air Mobility.\n<\/p>\n<p><b>About Textron Aviation<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWe inspire the journey of flight.
