Atlantic Aero has received certification for modifications developed to convert the Cessna Caravan single-turboprop utility aircraft from cargo to passenger configuration. The modifications are available in kit form, or can be installed by the Greensboro, North Carolina-based company.
The basic passenger conversion kit allows the Caravan to be modified repeatedly between cargo and passenger configurations, and provides up to eight passenger seats in the Cessna 208 and 208A and up to nine in the stretched 208B.
Four additional kits are intended for more permanent installations and to improve passenger amenities. They include: an interior kit, adding carpets and sidewall panels; a kit for the installation of 12 cabin windows; a portable airstair kit; and a custom seating kit to upgrade the seats to airline standard.
