Grand Caravan EX gains three interiors
The Caravan and Grand Caravan EX cockpits feature Garmin’s G1000 NXi avionics with the latest technology and connectivity. The Lunar, Obsidian and Saddle Sport interiors join the Canyon and Savanna schemes.
Smart options are now available to deck out the Caravan cabin.

The Cessna Grand Caravan EX will now feature three new executive interior schemes for customers to select when designing their aircraft cabin. The Lunar, Obsidian and Saddle Sport interiors join the existing Canyon and Savanna schemes, providing a broader range of standard choices.

The new interior options are available to customers starting this month and allow them to further tailor the interior of their aircraft based on their personal preference or mission. Premium versions of each of the new interiors are also available, featuring quilted seat stitching and plush carpet, providing an elevated aesthetic to the cabin.

“The Cessna Caravan family continues to prove its excellence as one of the most versatile aircraft in the industry,” says Lannie O'Bannion, senior vice president, sales and marketing. “Drawing from direct conversations with customers, these cabin enhancements are designed to elevate comfort and provide a more enjoyable cabin experience.”

In addition to the enhanced flight deck announced last year for the Cessna Caravan and Grand Caravan EX, both aircraft will now include eight USB-C chargers on the cabin sidewall as standard features. Each charger includes two ports, providing a total of 16 charging points to keep passengers powered and connected in flight.

The introduction of the new interiors aligns with the company's celebration of the 40th anniversary of the Cessna Caravan single-engine utility turboprop. Aviation enthusiasts can view the new Lunar Premium interior cabin along with the added cabin USB-C plugs in the 40th anniversary Cessna Grand Caravan EX demonstrator aircraft which will be at the company's static display at EAA AirVenture in Oshkosh, Wisconsin. This aircraft features a special paint scheme commemorating four decades of flight.

The Cessna Caravan and Grand Caravan EX cockpits currently feature Garmin's G1000 NXi avionics with the latest technology and connectivity.

The Cessna Caravan family of aircraft are versatile, highly practical aircraft used for a wide range of global missions. More than 3,100 Cessna Caravan aircraft have been delivered into more than 100 countries since the aircraft was introduced. With over 25 million flight hours amassed worldwide, Caravans fulfil roles for a multitude of missions, ranging from flight training to recreation, commuter airlines to VIP transport, cargo carriers and humanitarian missions. The Grand Caravan EX aircraft is known for its dependable and efficient performance by regional airlines, charter operators, cargo carriers and special missions operators worldwide.
