Cessna's Grand Caravan EX has been granted certification for a 14-place configuration from EASA. The approval allows operators of the aircraft to offer higher density seating and greater operational capability in European countries.

Cessna expects to deliver its 2,500th Caravan in 2015, and the fleet is now certified in 100 countries with more than 13 million flight hours amassed since the aircraft was introduced in 1985. Caravans fulfill roles for multiple missions, ranging from flight training to recreation, commuter airlines to vip transport, and cargo carriers to humanitarian missions.
