Our primary aircraft is the the Embraer 110 Bandeirante, aka "Bandit".

Our aircraft have been extensive modified to achieve greater payload and reliability. They provide 1,000 lbs. more payload and approximately 100 more useable cubic feet of volume than a Cessna Caravan. And with vastly simplified systems, it performs with comparable economy and reliability. We operate 12 Bandeirante aircraft today.

All of the payload is carried in the main cabin. There are no pods, nose compartments, or wing lockers. The Bandit will load and pack more easily and will carry significantly more freight than other aircraft which, on paper, have comparable cubic capacity.

The chart below compares the Bandit to other aircraft that rely on pods, or, in the case of the Metro, a circular fuselage to achieve a theoretical cubic capacity.
