Our Fleet

Southern Airways operates a large fleet of Cessna Grand Caravans on commuter and regional routes. Each aircraft seats up to nine passengers, and every passenger enjoys both aisle access and a window, paired with expansive views that turn every flight into a front-row seat to the scenery below. It’s an aircraft built to work – day in and day out – with the resilience and versatility that our guests and teams rely on.

A single, proven turboprop and a rugged airframe trusted across millions of flight hours worldwide make the Grand Caravan one of the most dependable regional aircraft flying, and the natural choice for connecting the communities we serve.

New aircraft are joining the fleet, strengthening connectivity across our network. As part of a broader modernization strategy, Surf Air Mobility has confirmed its order for 100 Cessna Grand Caravan EX aircraft from Textron Aviation, with the potential to expand even further, marking a significant investment in the future of regional air travel.

Each seat comes with its own air vent and reading light, as well as a seat back pocket for storage of small items. Under seat storage, however, is extremely limited so most carry-on items will need to be gate checked. The cabin also is climate controlled for passenger comfort to keep you cool during hot summer days.

Pets are allowed on board – please contact our call center at (800) 329-0485 before booking.

Engineered for absolute reliability, the Cessna Grand Caravan sets the standard for safety with a proven design trusted across millions of flight hours worldwide. Its rugged, utilitarian design prioritizes function over flash, delivering unmatched dependability where it matters most.
