Joins Other Tecnam Aircraft In Service With Aviation Home In Qatar
Tecnam has delivered its first P2010 to the Middle East.
P2010 ‘A7-TBA’ was delivered directly from Tecnam’s Capua, Italy production facility to Qatar-based Aviation Home at Al Khor Airport. The ferry flight included stops in Brindisi, Corfu, Crete, Alexandria, Cairo, Hurgada, Madina, Riyadh and Doha in just 25 flight hours.
And when the plane arrived, it landed on Crete’s runway 030 in a rain storm, with winds out of the north (350) at 28 knots, gusting to 40 knots.
The P2010 joins a wide range of Tecnam aircraft already in service with Aviation Home, Tecnam’s dealer for both the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. These include the Tecnam Astore, P2006T Twin and a number of P200JF’s.
Tecnam says the P2010 brings together an advanced technology all carbon fiber fuselage with a metal wing and stabilator/rudder based on the best of TECNAM’s recent P2006T Twin and P2008 experience. This single engine, 4 seat aeroplane has been eagerly anticipated by the General Aviation community.
Professor Luigi Pascale, Tecnam’s president and head of design, is especially proud of creating the P2010. “It was 50 years ago that we originally introduce a four-seater single engine high wing aircraft. I am delighted at the response from so many in the General Aviation community, be they private owners or flight schools who have appreciated the benefits of our all new innovative and affordable Tecnam P2010.”
