New airline in Mexico selects Cessna SkyCouriers and Cessna Grand Caravan EXs to service region

Textron Aviation today announced that #aerus, a new regional #airline in #mexico, is launching its fleet with the purchase of two 19 passenger configured #cessnaskycourier twin-engine turboprops and four #cessnagrandcaravanex turboprops. The #airline recently took delivery of the first three Grand Caravan EX aircraft.

The Cessna SkyCourier and Cessna Grand Caravan EX are designed and manufactured by Textron #aviation Inc., a Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.

"A fleet of #cessna SkyCouriers and #cessna Grand Caravans will enable #aerus to be successful in growing #service range and frequency of flights," said #marcelomoreira, vice president of Sales, Latin America region, Textron #aviation. "Both aircraft offer superior performance and low operating costs in combination with flexibility in cabin and payload."

The #cessnaskycourier and Grand Caravan EX aircraft are versatile and reliable business tools that enable customers like #aerus to fulfill their missions. Based in Monterrey, #mexico, #aerus will cover unserved national and international routes in order to meet the needs of its customers.

"When we looked at options within the market to operate the routes we had in mind, it was a no-brainer decision to choose the Grand Caravan EX and the SkyCourier from Textron #aviation, which will be the cornerstone of the #aerus project," said #javierherrera, CEO, #aerus. "We are very proud to be one of the first operators of the new SkyCourier, which we are sure will be a great success for Textron #aviation and #aerus. We appreciate Textron Aviation's support as we set launch operations."

Aerus is part of #grupoherrera, which has 80 years of experience in the automotive, financial, and real estate industries, and has had an air taxi permit since 1990. The company plans to begin its #airline operations in the first quarter of 2023.
