Airplane Awarded "Best Of The Best" In The Business Turboprop
Category
Piaggio Aero announced Tuesday that the Italian-built P.180
Avanti II aircraft has been named "Best Business Turboprop" by the
editors of Robb Report magazine in its annual "Best of the Best"
issue.
Each June, Robb Report, a leading US journal on luxury brands,
publishes this special issue, which 'represents the culmination of
an entire year's search for excellence in every aspect of the
affluent lifestyle.' Now in its 22nd year of awarding this honor to
products that represent the pinnacle of luxury, style and design,
the Editors of Robb Report chose this modern aircraft as Best
Business Turboprop for its operating efficiency and its modern,
stylish, functional design.
The Piaggio Aero P.180 Avanti II can carry eight passengers and
is certified for single-pilot operation, which contributes to its
low operating cost. The elegant Avanti II also has many practical
features required by today's business travelers including a full
stand up cabin (the only aircraft in its class to have this) as
well as rear facing twin turboprop engines that direct engine noise
away from the cabin making for a serenely quiet and comfortable
environment.
The Avanti II, while offering its occupants jet equivalent
speeds, is the most environmentally friendly airplane in business
aviation today. It uses up to 40% less fuel than similarly sized
jets, which in turn also translates into much lower overall
operating costs than any other similar sized aircraft.
