New Luxury Interior On Display at Asian Aerospace
Asian Aerospace
attendees have their first chance to see the Cessna Caravan
sporting its new luxurious, jet-like interior. The 1000th 208B
Grand Caravan, which will be on display throughout the show (held
February 24-29, 2004), is owned and operated by retail customer
Supap Puranitee.
The 1000th 208B Grand Caravan is one of the few precursors to
the OASIS interior that is now offered by Cessna and Yingling
Aviation, an authorized Cessna Pilot Center and Service Station in
Wichita (KS). Cessna and Yingling Aviation have established an
agreement that enables Caravan customers to order their Yingling
OASIS interior from Cessna for installation by Yingling under their
exclusive STC. This arrangement allows customers to have their
Yingling OASIS interior crafted concurrently with the production of
their aircraft and take delivery of their new Caravan in a
simplified delivery process.
"The OASIS interior sets a very high standards for quality,
style and reliability. As Cessna handles all of the interior
installation logistics, it saves the customer time and avoids many
potential pitfalls," said John Doman, Vice President of Worldwide
Propeller Aircraft Sales.
The Caravan OASIS interior provides seating configurations for
up to 10 people with two forward facing seats behind the crew, a
four-place club seating area with executive side tables, and aft
divan seating for two incorporating a standard flushing toilet
approved for occupancy during takeoff and landing. The veneer or
laminate wood cabinetry features two standard forward cabinets, one
providing a convenient refreshment center, while the other is
available for pilot materials and general storage applications.
Electronic equipment including the latest high-tech entertainment
systems, telecommunications, and flight data displays are also
available as options.
To date, Yingling has completed eight Caravan OASIS interiors
and has scheduled seven more for completion in 2004.
