Tropic Ocean Airways, a Fort Lauderdale based operator serving the state of Florida and the islands of the Bahamas, has announced the purchase of their seventh aircraft continuing on a path of growth. Once delivered, Tropic Ocean Airways will have two wheeled Cessna Caravans and five amphibious Cessna aircraft.
The 2015 wheeled Cessna Grand Caravan EX is equipped with the most advanced technology in its class, including a new Garmin G1000 glass cockpit avionics suite, and a high powered Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A-140 engine.
“The introduction of this additional wheeled Cessna Grand Caravan EX to our fleet is a key component of our plan to expand regional operations and deliver a first-class service that our guests can rely on,” said Tropic Ocean Airways Chief Executive Officer Rob Ceravolo.
“We’re pleased to supply products that allow our customers to grow their business operations, as evidenced by this order and the success of Tropic Ocean Airways,” said Brian Howell, regional sales vice president, Textron Aviation. “By adding the latest Cessna Grand Caravan EX model to their fleet, Tropic Ocean Airways customers will benefit from the aircraft’s versatility and reliability while traveling in comfort.”
Tropic Ocean Airways is expanding their operations to further strengthen their position as a leading airline throughout Florida and the Bahamas providing clients with a premium travel experience. The airline has experienced rapid growth, today providing private charter flights, scheduled operations, cargo services, and direct-to-yacht provisioning services.
