Cessna 208 Caravan I – Seat Covers & Cushion Supply
The Project
This project involved Generation Global supplying replacement seat covers and cushions for a Cessna 208 Caravan I. The aircraft features two crew seats, and a passenger cabin configured with thirteen seats, consisting of three rows of individual and double seats, and a three-seater bench located on the rear wall. All supplied parts are available via Generation Global’s online shop.

Crew Seating
The crew seat covers were manufactured using a combination of Oxford Grey sheepskin on the seating faces, paired with Portland Grey (JLS722) aviation leather on the side borders, back panels, armrests, and headrests. These seats were fully refurbished from the frame up, including new foam cushions, offering enhanced support and long-lasting comfort for pilots. -
Passenger Seating
The passenger seat upholstery was also completed in Portland Grey (JLS722) leather, featuring matching stitching and integrated leather headrests for a cohesive and professional finish. The passenger configuration includes an offset aisle layout—with single seats on one side and double seats on the other—providing optimal cabin flow.
At the rear, a three-seater bench seat is securely mounted to the rear floor and bulkhead. The rear bulkhead panel itself was wrapped in a shell-coloured synthetic leather, complementing the clean, refined interior palette. -
Floor Coverings
The flooring was manufactured from a Charcoal (NAI-18038FR) vinyl material, chosen for its durability and easy maintenance. It was neatly bound with matching mesh binding and securely velcroed into place, allowing for both a streamlined appearance and ease of removal for cleaning or maintenance.
The Client
Based in Queenstown, New Zealand, the client offers bespoke sightseeing flights over the iconic Milford Sound and the surrounding Southern Alps. Operating a fleet of four Cessna Caravans, their aircraft are specially suited for scenic flights, with high-mounted wings providing passengers with unobstructed panoramic views. Tourism is a major industry in the region, with over three million tourists visiting Queenstown annually, and more than half a million exploring the Milford Sound each year.
