SPECIAL MISSIONS


AIR AMBULANCE INTELLIGENCE, SURVEILLANCE, RECONNAISSANCE

ISR/Utility CombinationDual Medical Station

Rugged, economical and versatile, Caravans are unsurpassed as special missions aircraft. Its unmatched fuel eciency and low operating costs keep

you aloft longer to meet your mission needs. The Grand Caravan EX is capable of performing life-critical missions in remote locations, flying in adverse

environments and operating on unimproved airstrips. Its high-wing design provides excellent ground visibility and a stable platform for intelligence gathering.

We can configure your Grand Caravan EX specifically to accommodate sophisticated ISR systems, video equipment, still photography and infrared cameras.


OPERATIONAL VERSATILITY


The Grand Caravan EX makes its own business case. Its legendary reliability ensures that you stay on schedule, not on the tarmac. The Grand Caravan EX

takes to the water with uncompromising speed and payload. Like all Caravan® models, the Amphibian is both easy and economical to maintain and far

more fuel-efficient than its competitors. Regional airlines and charter services serving low-volume routes or traveling to remote destinations count

on the Grand Caravan EX to deliver more payload and serve more customers for healthier revenue on every trip.

BUSINESS / CORPORATE / AIRLINE TOURISM / SIGHTSEEING


ONLY THE GRAND CARAVAN EXThe Grand Caravan EX outperforms all other single-engine utility turboprops,

no matter the conditions or the mission. Even with a range well over 900

nautical miles, a max cruise speed of 185 knots and useful load of more

than 3,500 pounds, the rugged, versatile Grand Caravan EX gets in and

out of tight places with short runways. This makes it the preferred aircraft

of regional carriers, charter businesses and special missions operations

with remote destinations.
