Tecnam announced the delivery of a new P2006T NG (Multi-Engine Trainer configuration, Registration: EC-ORF) to CANAVIA Aviation Training, a leading Approved Training Organisation based in the Canary Islands, Spain.​ This latest acquisition brings CANAVIA’s total Tecnam fleet to nine aircraft, comprising six P2008JC and three P2006Ts (including the newly delivered NG model). This milestone solidifies CANAVIA’s position as operating one of the most modern and extensive Tecnam training fleets in the Canary Islands and the wider Atlantic region.

New Tecnam P2006T NG enhances CANAVIA’s multi-engine training operations and heavily supports the academy’s long-term growth strategy. The integration of this cutting-edge twin-engine aircraft brings several key benefits to the academy and its cadets:

  • Increased Capacity: Improved availability of multi-engine flight hours for ATPL and MEP students.

  • Operational Efficiency: Lower operational costs and environmental impact thanks to the modern, fuel-efficient design of the NG series.

  • Advanced Avionics: Enhanced airline-oriented training through updated glass-cockpit avionics, ensuring a safer and more modern training environment.

  • Sustainable Growth: Supports the organization’s ongoing commitment to sustainable and innovative aviation training.

In a special tribute, CANAVIA has dedicated this new P2006T NG to one of their own.

Mario Daniel Pons Grau, CEO and Head of Training at CANAVIA, commented: This new aircraft reinforces our ongoing commitment to innovation and training excellence. We are proud to honor Eduardo González Santana, a professional who has left an indelible mark on CANAVIA’s history.”

Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer, stated: We are incredibly proud to continue our strong and growing partnership with CANAVIA. Operating a fleet of nine Tecnam aircraft is a true testament to the reliability, profitability, and exceptional training value of our platforms, especially in the vibrant aviation environment of the Canary Islands. The P2006T NG will provide CANAVIA’s students with the most advanced multi-engine training available today. We are also deeply moved by the dedication of EC-ORF to Eduardo González Santana, and we are honored that a Tecnam aircraft will carry his legacy forward into the skies.”
