History
Introduction dateMay 9, 2022[1]
First flightMay 17, 2020[2]

The Cessna 408 SkyCourier is an American utility aircraft designed and built by the Cessna division of Textron Aviation. It was launched on November 28, 2017, with an order for 50 from FedEx Express, with the aircraft designed for the needs of its FedEx Feeder service. It made its first flight on May 17, 2020, and was type certified on March 11, 2022. FedEx took delivery of the first production model on May 9, 2022.[3]

The SkyCourier is a twin-turboprop, high-wing monoplane, available as a 19-passenger regional airliner, a cargo variant that can carry three LD3 unit load devices, and a combi version with 9 passenger seats and a rear-cabin cargo area. The non-pressurized design is built from aluminium and is equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engines and fixed landing gear. The 19,000-pound (8,600 kg) MTOW airplane can cruise up to 210 knots (390 km/h; 240 mph), with a range of 386 nautical miles (715 km; 444 mi) with 19 passengers.

Development

The Model 408 was launched on November 28, 2017, by Textron Aviation, with an introduction planned for 2020, as a FAR Part 23 type certified design.[4][5] Like the earlier Cessna 208 Caravan, the 408's design was developed with FedEx Express to match the needs of FedEx Feeder service; FedEx requested an aircraft that could haul 6,000 lb (2,700 kg), twice the payload of the 208, and could accommodate entire LD3 sized unit load devices.[6][7][8]

FedEx Express was the launch customer, with an order of "50 cargo aircraft and options for 50 more".[5][9] Its unit cost then was $5.5 million.[10]

Initial wind tunnel tests were completed in March 2018.[11] The first flight was originally planned for 2019 and first deliveries anticipated in 2020.[12] FedEx initially planned to take monthly deliveries over four years starting in 2020, and a similar pace for a second batch, if it agrees to that option.[13] A full-scale mockup of the 19-passenger cabin was displayed at the October 2018 National Business Aviation Association convention.[14]

The mating of the wing and fuselage of the first aircraft was completed in December 2019.[15] By March 2020, initial ground testing was completed, checking the fuel system, engines, avionics interfaces and electrical systems.[16] The first flight was completed on May 17, 2020, operating from Beech Factory Airport for a 2-hour and 15-minute flight. The prototype aircraft, a passenger version,[17] along with five additional flight and ground test articles, was used for testing leading to certification.[2] The second prototype, a freighter version[17] which first flew in August 2020, was the first production-conforming aircraft and was used for testing the engines, propellers, environmental controls and avionics.[18] A third test aircraft first flew in September 2020.[19]

In April 2021, the company anticipated that certification would be completed by year's end and initial deliveries would occur in spring/summer 2022.[20] The SkyCourier made its first public appearance at the EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh in 2021.[21][22]

By early 2022, the three test aircraft had accumulated over 2,100 flight hours as the first production aircraft for FedEx was rolled out on February 3, 2022.[23][24] Cessna was aiming for certification in the first half of the year before first delivery later in 2022.[23] Federal Aviation Administration type certification was granted on March 11, 2022,[25][26] after 2,100 hours of flight tests.[27] Certification by the National Civil Aviation Agency of Brazil was granted on August 8, 2023.[28] Certification was awarded by the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) in August 2024,[29] and Transport Canada Civil Aviation granted certification of the type in December 2024.[30]

Cessna SkyCourier owned by FedEx Feeder and operated by Mountain Air Cargo

The first production aircraft was delivered to FedEx Express in May 2022.[31] Mountain Air Cargo, which operates flights for FedEx, operated the first revenue flight of the type on January 3, 2023.[6]

In February 2023, a gravel runway operations kit was approved for the aircraft.[32] In 2023, its equipped price was $7.195M for the freighter and $7.745M for the passenger version.[33]

The first 19-seat passenger variant was delivered in April 2023 for use by Western Aircraft, Inc. doing business in Hawaii as Lāna’i Air.[34][35]

In 2024, the price was $8.35M for the passenger variant and $7.75M for the cargo variant.[6]

The Belgian Air Force is set to become the first military customer for the type, as in February 2026, they announced they have selected the Skycourier for its Special Forces aviation. 5 aircraft are to be on order. [36]

Design

Forward section of the SkyCourier prototype

The SkyCourier is a twin-turboprop, high-wing, utility aircraft. It is available in a 19-passenger variant with large cabin windows and separate crew and passenger doors, or in a cargo variant sized for three LD3s and 6,000 lb (2,700 kg) of payload, featuring a "large cargo door and a flat floor cabin". Its cruise speed is up to 200 kn (370 km/h; 230 mph), with a maximum range of 900 nmi (1,700 km; 1,000 mi). It also includes a single-point refueling system which reduces turnaround times.[5]

The aircraft was designed to offer better cabin flexibility, payload capability, superior performance, and lower operating costs than its competitors; notably, the cabin was designed to accommodate heavier and bulkier cargo than comparable new aircraft.[5][6] The airframe consists of traditional aluminum materials and is equipped with Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-65 engines, fixed landing gear and Garmin G1000 avionics. The non-pressurized cabin is 70 in (178 cm) tall and wide, with a flat floor and an 87 in (221 cm) cargo door.[4] The cabin of the passenger version is designed for quick conversion to a freight configuration; using patented quick-release fixtures, two people can remove the passenger seats and interior bulkheads in about one hour.[6]

Operational history

As of February 2026, a total of 61 model 408s were registered in the United States with the Federal Aviation Administration.[37] 13 SkyCouriers were delivered during 2024.[38]

In January 2026, Jamaica placed an order for two Cessna 408 SkyCourier aircraft for light tactical transport missions[39]. This was the first government order for this aircraft model. A few days later, also in January 2026, Belgium placed its second military order for five aircraft to support its special operations[40].

Variants

Freighter (408F)
Version to carry cargo including three LD3 containers. A roller mat floor is optional.[41]
SkyCourier Passenger version prototype N408PX
Passenger (408P)
Version with passenger windows, can be fitted with 19 passenger seats, with a baggage compartment at the rear of the cabin. It has a built-in rear airstair and three under-wing emergency exits. Optionally, seats can be fitted which are quickly removable to allow conversion to carry freight, for example for overnight cargo operations.[42]
Combi (408C)
This is an option for the passenger version which enables nine passengers to be accommodated at the front of the cabin and freight to be loaded at the rear. A freighter option allows for all-freight operation as well.[43] It gained US FAA certification in May 2024 and the first example was delivered to Everts Air two months later.[44]
Special missions
In 2023 Textron announced that it was developing a special missions variant. This would include four underwing hardpoints plus two inboard stations for additional fuel tanks. Stations would be provided for external sensors, and the nose baggage compartment modified to accommodate a retractable electro-optical and infrared sensor pod. The engine starter/generators would be upgraded to power the extra electrical equipment. Mission kits would also include three stacking stretchers plus two critical care berths for medevac missions.[45] The fuselage can be fitted with sideways-facing troop seats, and the main door can be modified for parachuting and para-dropping.[46] A demonstrator aircraft was due to fly in 2024.[45]
