Susi Air was founded in 2004 and started operating two C208 Grand Caravan's purchased new from Cessna. As such, PK-VVA (ex N12690) was the very first aircraft delivered to Susi Air in late October 2004, followed by sistership PK-VVR a few days later. Since it's inception, Susi Air took delivery of a total of 34 Caravans, making it one of the bigger operators of this rugged plane worldwide. Two of Susi Air's C208 were lost in accidents (PK-VVE and PK-VVG), both within a few weeks in 2011.
