Canavia welcomes first Tecnam P2006T NG aircraft

Tecnam Aircraft announced the delivery and successful ferry flight of a brand-new P2006T NG to Canavia Flight Training, marking the third Tecnam P2006T in their fleet — and the first of the latest Next Generation version to arrive in the Canary Islands. With this addition, Canavia now operates ten Tecnam aircraft, forming the backbone of its fleet of 13, dedicated primarily to Airline Transport Pilot Licence training.

Founded in 2009, Canavia Flight Training Organization has established itself as a benchmark in aviation education across Europe. Operating from the Canary Islands, Canavia provides top-tier pilot training to over 160 active students, benefitting from excellent weather conditions year-round, experienced instructors, and a robust fleet that ensures both reliability and efficiency.

Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer  stated: “Tecnam is proud to support Canavia’s commitment to quality and professionalism. Their success in training the next generation of airline pilots perfectly aligns with Tecnam’s mission to deliver advanced, reliable, and sustainable aircraft for flight training around the world.”

Mario Pons, CEO of Canavia commented: “We are committed to excellence in training the future airline pilots. Our partnership with Tecnam provides us with aircraft perfectly suited to our training operations, and most importantly, with the strong maintenance support that enables us to meet our students’ demanding flying schedules.”

The ferry flight of the new aircraft from Tecnam’s headquarters in Capua, Italy, to Canavia’s base in the Canary Islands, was successfully completed by Álvaro Lapetra, Tecnam’s Spanish Dealer, together with Canavia pilot Miguel Marafini.

“It was a real pleasure to deliver this new-generation P2006T to Canavia, one of Tecnam’s most loyal and professional training partners,” said Álvaro Lapetra. “The aircraft performed flawlessly throughout the ferry flight, further confirming the reliability and efficiency of Tecnam’s twin-engine platform.”

Canavia’s continuous expansion — with plans to acquire a Tecnam P2010  single engine four seat, in the coming days — demonstrates their ongoing confidence in Tecnam’s aircraft range and customer support.
