What’s New

The updated cabin features USB-C charging ports at every seat, improved LED lighting, and redesigned seat cushions with better lumbar support. The overhead bins have been reconfigured for easier access.

Textron worked with operators worldwide to identify pain points in the original design. Long-haul cargo pilots and passenger operators both contributed feedback.

Pricing and Availability

The interior refresh package is available now for new orders. Retrofit kits for existing Caravans will ship in Q2 2025. Pricing starts at $45,000 installed.

Several Part 135 operators have already placed orders, citing passenger comfort as a competitive advantage.

Why It Matters

The Caravan remains one of the best-selling utility aircraft. This update keeps it competitive against newer designs while preserving the reliability operators depend on.

For pilots flying long routes in remote areas, the ergonomic improvements could reduce fatigue on multi-hour sectors.
