Versatility is the most remarkable aspect of the new Kodiak 100 Series III turboprop.
Let’s escape to Empuriabrava Airport in northeastern Spain, and see how the Kodiak’s versatility empowers efficient skydiving. Managed by a skydiving company, Empuriabrava Airport is a popular skydiving destination and another great place to visit with the Kodiak!
The city itself is nicknamed the Venice of Spain, famous for its 25 kilometers of canals and the marina of Empuriabrava. A perfect location as it has several award-winning beaches such as Platja de Empuriabrava and Rubina Beach.
Other great natural attractions include the swamps of Aiguamolls de l’Emporda and the Natural Park Cabo de Creus.
Empuriabrava is also a short nine-kilometer hop from Figueres, the birthplace of world-famous surrealist artist Salvador Dali.
Built for Skydiving
With the ability to efficiently carry 15 jumpers, plus the pilot, the Kodiak is the ultimate skydiving aircraft. Customized with its segmented sliding door, outside step, removable static line system, jump lights and so much more, the Kodiak can be tailor-made for skydiving.
The optional turned-out exhaust stacks even keep fumes away from the rear door, while maintaining a clean fuselage.
The Kodiak’s incredible versatility is by design.
With its rugged construction and exceptional performance, the Kodiak boasts an unbeatable time-to-climb to 12,000 feet of roughly 9:30 minutes as well as a takeoff weight of 7255 pounds.
This translates into a profitable 4 loads of skydivers per hour.
