Airplane Will Be Shipped To A Buyer In Argentina
The 800th airplane in Pipistrel's Sinus/Virus family has rolled off the company's assembly line. The aircraft will soon be shipped to a buyer in Argentina.
Representatives of the customer travelled from the other side of the world to join Pipistrel employees at a roll-out event for the milestone airplane. The Pipistrel distributor team from Argentina - Mr. André Hediger and Mr. Ernesto M. Hayes - were eager to accept the keys from the representatives of Pipistrel at the company's HQ facility in Ajdovš?ina.
"In the today’s world of crisis in aviation industry it is an enormous achievement to produce 800 aircraft from the same line of products. This is a success on par with the 70’s when the aviation was in the phase of its fastest development," said Ivo Boscarol, the General Manager of Pipistrel d.o.o. Ajdovšcina. "The aircraft nowadays are produced in much smaller series, but we are going to reach and exceed the number 1000 within one year. This is now already certain due to the signed contract with Indian armed forces.
"This places Pipistrel in the leading position among all the producers of microlight aviation and LSA on the global scale," Boscarol said.
"This is (further) proof that Pipistrel's philosophy of energy efficiency, minimizing noise and consumption that we have been following for decades is correct and has now started to show its long-term results," he continued. "Aviation all over the world is without doubt experiencing very fast evolution… but in Pipistrel we turned that into EcoLution,"
