Tecnam delivered P2012 Traveller demonstrator aircraft to Transair Leasing Inc., following a highly successful participation at F-AIR Colombia 2025. This important milestone underscores Tecnam strategic expansion into the Andean region and reinforces its commitment to supporting regional certification, sales, and demonstration efforts.

The demonstration aircraft, powered by two 375 hp Continental GTSIO-520-S engines,  has been stationed in Quito, Ecuador, where it will serve as a regional icon for private, commercial, and special mission operations. This move lays the groundwork for Tecnam’s upcoming Regional Demo Tour across Panama, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru, showcasing the P2012 Traveller’s unparalleled versatility, aerodynamic excellence, and Italian craftsmanship.

Francesco Sferra, Tecnam P2012 Special Mission Platforms Sales & Business Development Manager and Experimental Test Pilot commented: Our delivery of the first P2012 Traveller to Ecuador marks an exciting chapter for Tecnam in the Andean region.This aircraft exemplifies our relentless pursuit of innovation, aerodynamic excellence, and Italian design. We are delighted to see it become a key asset in building regional awareness, generating leads, and supporting certification initiatives. Tecnam’s commitment is to offer the most advanced, reliable, and versatile aircraft to our customers worldwide.”

Diego Ribadeneira, Director of Transair Leasing stated: “Our joint participation at F-AIR Colombia 2025 earlier this month was a resounding success. We proudly introduced the Tecnam P2012 to the Andean region and officially launched Transair Leasing’s regional representation. The aircraft quickly became a crowd favorite, sparking strong interest for private, commercial, and specialized operations across Colombia and Ecuador. We are truly impressed by the aircraft’s superlative build quality, Italian sleekness, and aerodynamically advanced design. We remain committed to showcasing the P2012 across the region to increase awareness and drive future sales.”

P2012 Traveller is designed for efficiency, comfort, and reliability. As a demonstrator, it plays a vital role in building awareness and demonstrating Tecnam’s capabilities to prospective clients in the region. The aircraft’s participation in air shows and private events will enhance market interest and facilitate regional certification efforts. Having a dedicated demo aircraft in the region provides Tecnam and its partners with a powerful platform to engage with stakeholders, demonstrate performance, and accelerate approval processes in Ecuador, Panama, and other markets, paving the way for future sales and mission applications.
