Italian Planemaker Enters The Australian Market
The Piaggio P180 Avanti II has been certified by
Australia's Civil Aviation Safety Authority (CASA). The company
made the announcement at Avalon 2011, the Australian International
Air Show.
The company said that it would begin
sales of the aircraft in the country with first deliveries expected
this year. The P180 Avanti II brings a completely new aircraft to
Australia - one that Piaggio says uses 40 percent less fuel and has
the lowest carbon footprint in its class by far, while providing
class leading performance and cabin comfort. The P180 Avanti II,
the company says, is truly eco-friendly, efficient and economical,
making it an ideal aircraft for Australia.
The Piaggio Aero P.180 Avanti II received its type acceptance
certificate from The Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority
(CASA) in late 2010. This certificate confirms that the design of
the aircraft complies with all Australian regulations, having
previously gained both EASA and FAA certifications in 2005. The
Avanti II can now be legally registered and operated throughout
Australia.
"We are proud to receive CASA certification for the Avanti II on
schedule. At Piaggio Aero we are fully committed to making quality
products available to the executive/multi-utility aircraft market
around the world, and offering comprehensive technical support for
them. "commented Alberto Galassi, Piaggio Aero CEO. ""The
Australian market is expanding rapidly and Piaggio Aero is excited
to be participating in this growth. Thanks to its unique design and
characteristics, we feel that the P.180 Avanti II is ideal for
Australian executive, aeromedical and other special mission
aviation applications" he added.
