Cape Air has announced the introduction of its next generation aircraft for Eastern Montana, with the Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX set to begin service across the airline’s Montana network in 2027. Known worldwide for its reliability, performance, and proven safety, the Cessna Carravan family has earned the trust of operators across millions of flight hours, keeping regional air travel accessible, dependable, and connected.
Cape Air will begin transitioning its Montana fleet from the Tecnam P2012 Traveller to the Cessna Grand Caravan EX equipped with a belly cargo pod, providing significantly increased baggage and storage capacity while maintaining the reliable air service communities throughout the region depend on every day. The airline expects all Montana operations to be transitioned to the Caravan fleet by the end of 2027.
The new aircraft will serve Cape Air’s routes connecting Billings (BIL) with Havre (HVR), Glasgow (GGW), Glendive (GDV), Sidney (SDY), and Wolf Point (OLF), ensuring continued access to the national and international air transportation system through Cape Air’s interline partnerships with seamless connections to Billings and beyond.
Throughout the transition, Cape Air’s current Tecnam P2012 fleet will continue to provide safe and reliable air service for Montana travelers. The introduction of the Grand Caravan EX aircraft represents the next phase of Cape Air’s ongoing investment in the region and its commitment to delivering a high-quality customer experience.
