Tropic Air announced today that it has taken delivery of another new Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX aircraft to its fleet. The aircraft (V3-HIM) arrived at Philip Goldson International Airport in Belize at 3:30pm on Wednesday after a ferry flight from Cessna headquarters in Wichita, Kansas, and comes fully equipped with a G1000 glass cockpit, weather radar and air-conditioning.

“This aircraft represents yet another five million dollarvote of confidence in the continued growth of tourism in Belize,” said John Greif III, president of Tropic Air. “The Caravan allows us to serve domestic and regional destinations, and is the most technologically advanced, fuel-efficient aircraft in its class. We love its performance and passengers love it for the air-conditioning and comfort.”

“This aircraft is the latest example of our commitment to reinvest our earnings in our employees, our terminals and new aircraft to provide the best possible service to our customers,” commented Steve Schulte, CEO of Tropic Air.

With the addition of this new aircraft, Tropic's permanent fleet will number 18. It has two additional aircraft on order.
