Azul Conecta, Brazil's largest operator of Cessna Grand Caravans, has provisionally ordered up to six Eco Caravan hybrid-electric conversion kits from Ampaire.
Azul Conecta, a regional airline in Brazil, has signed a letter of intent with hybrid-electric aircraft developer Ampaire to upgrade up to six of its Cessna Grand Caravans to Eco Caravans. The announcement comes about two months after Ampaire successfully conducted the first flight test of an Eco Caravan, which is a hybrid-electric version of the Cessna 208 Grand Caravan.
