Tecnam Secures 86 Aircraft Orders at AERO Friedrichshafen 2026

Italy – Tecnam, one of the world's leading piston aircraft manufacturers headquartered in Capua, has concluded what it describes as its most successful AERO Friedrichshafen exhibition to date, securing 86 confirmed aircraft orders over four days and unveiling new aircraft platforms and certifications at the 2026 edition of Europe's premier general aviation show.

• Tecnam commanded the largest booth at AERO 2026 with 1,216 sqm of indoor exhibition space plus 144 sqm of outdoor display, staffed by 60 dedicated personnel.
• Major fleet expansion orders were signed with European flight training organizations and commercial operators during the show, including:
  • European Flyers (Spain) – 12 P2010 TDI aircraft
  • GreyBird Aviation Group (Denmark/Sweden/Spain) – 13 aircraft (10 P-Mentor, 3 P2006T NG)
  • Center Air Pilot Academy (Denmark) – 11 aircraft (10 P-Mentor, 1 P2006T NG)
  • Smart Aviation (Poland) – 10 P2008JC NG aircraft
  • ACS Aviation (UK) – 4 confirmed P-Mentors plus 6 options

• EASA Executive Director Florian Guillermet personally handed over the CS-23 Amendment 6 Type Certificate for the new P2008JC NG during the show, marking the aircraft's EASA certification.
• Tecnam debuted the P2012 VIP, a six-seat ultra-quiet VIP twin, and launched the P2010 MkIII with standard factory air conditioning and modernized interiors. The company also presented the P92 platform equipped with the Rotax 915iS engine.
