Walter Da Costa, Chief Sales Officer for Tecnam, commented: “We are most impressed with the deep market knowledge, well established industry contacts, and professionalism of the Hallmarc Aviation team headed by Mr. Michael Loccisano.  We are delighted that Hallmarc has purchased a P2012 demonstrator, and we confident that our P2012 will meet operators needs in Australia.”

“We are seeing big demand for the P2012 from existing charter operators wanting to replace an ever-aging fleet of legacy twins, as well as survey, photography and LiDar companies looking for a new, efficient, and economical special mission planform,” says Michael Loccisano, Managing Director of Hallmarc. 

Says Da Costa “For the same reason that sales of the Traveller have taken off in the USA, Europe, and Asia, we expect that the P2012 to sell very well in Australia, where it is perfectly suited to the conditions. There really is no other aircraft on the market today that offers anything like what the Traveller does, for anywhere near the same price.”
