First Avanti II Deliveries In Brazil Expected In Early
2011
Italian Business Aviation Manufacturer Piaggio Aero said
Thursday at the top of the LABACE Air Show in Sao Paulo that it has
cracked the Brazilian biz-av market.
The company announced that it would
begin sales at LABACE, with first deliveries of its world-renowned
P180 Avanti II aircraft expected for January/February 2011, as soon
as the aircraft receives Brazilian certification. That process
reportedly near completion. Piaggio Aero also announced that they
have reached agreement with NOAR Aviação part of
Brazil's NOAR Airlines, based in Recife, for NOAR to become the
exclusive Brazilian agent for the Piaggio P180 Avanti II aircraft.
NOAR will promote, distribute and service the Piaggio Aero brand
and its aircraft in Brazil.
"We have evaluated the Brazilian market very carefully and the
opportunity it presents for Piaggio," said President and CEO of
Piaggio America and Piaggio Aero's Chief Marketing Officer, John M.
Bingham. "We are delighted to be bringing our aircraft to this
market and people will be surprised at what a great alternative it
is to the other more established aircraft in Brazil. Above all,
they will be amazed at how we operate at up to 40 percent lower
operating costs, and leave a much smaller carbon footprint than
those other aircraft, without surrendering any performance or time
in flight for our customers."
Piaggio Aero is entering Brazil with the very significant
backing and support of its shareholders, which includes TATA from
India, through Tata Limited UK, and Mubadala Development, the
strategic investment company owned by the Government of Abu Dhabi.
"We are here to build a solid, long term, aviation business and
with strong backing, significant business acumen and an excellent
Brazilian representative, there will soon be a substantial number
of Piaggio P180 Avanti II's in the skies of Brazil," Bingham
added.
NOAR will also become the first Piaggio Aero authorized service
center in Brazil, with additional service centers to quickly
follow. The authorization allows the NOAR service center to perform
factory-authorized maintenance, repair and overhaul services to the
P180 Avanti II aircraft.
