Rwandan Air Force Acquires Textron C-208 EX Aircraft
ATI Engineering Services has won a $10.1 million contract from the Pentagon to provide two Textron C-208 EX utility aircraft for Rwanda.
This contract provides the procurement of two Textron C-208 EX aircraft, associated spare parts and ground support equipment, the necessary modifications for the Rwandan Air Force, flight training device, technical drawings and interim logistic support for both aircraft and the training device.
Work is expected to be completed July 31, 2022. This is foreign military sale from the US government to the Government of Rawanda.
The EX is the third variant of the all-metal, high-wing 208 Caravan – introduced in 1984 – and the second iteration of the Grand Caravan, a stretched version of the 208, which arrived four years later. It is powered by a 870hp PT6A-140 engine.
