New power headset jacks and charging ports at every seat, upgraded seats with additional support and padding, and a brand-new centre armrest will feature from 2024.

The Cessna high-wing piston aircraft lineup of Skyhawk, Skylane, Turbo Skylane and Turbo Stationair HD are to have a range of new high tech standard features and sleek interior design options including modern and comfortable seating, updated instrument panels and new exterior paint styles from 2024.

There will be an enhanced level of comfort and functionality throughout the aircraft, with new power headset jacks and charging ports at every seat (USB A and C device compatibility), upgraded seats with additional support and padding, and a brand-new centre armrest for the Skylane, Skylane, and Turbo Stationair HD models.

“For decades, pilots have chosen the Cessna piston lineup for its durability, comfort and performance,” says Christi Tannahill, senior vice president, Customer Experience. “When designing the next interior for the iconic aircraft family, it was important that we include feedback from customers and fans. The result is a more modern, sporty feel that aligns with our family of Cessna Citation jets for the best aviation experience.”
