SR JET Is The Launch Customer For The Modified Airplane

Piaggio Aero has delivered the first P.180 Avanti II  “Extended Range” to  SR Jet, part of the Beijing-based Sparkle Roll Investment Holdings Limited.

The SR Jet aircraft is the first Avanti able to fly for more than 1,720 nm, thanks to the installation of a permanent additional tank - which replaces only half of a closet in the toilet and with no changes to the airframe. The modification allows the  fuel capacity of the  Piaggio Aero iconic aircraft  to  grow  from  2,826 pounds to 3,226 pounds, enabling a comfortable nonstop flight from Beijing to Hainan or Hanoi,  Milan to Reykjavik and Samara, Abu Dhabi to Istanbul and Chennai.

Sparkle Roll Investment Holdings Limited (SR Group) Sparkle Roll General Aviation Ltd was founded in September 2013, and is a privately owned aviation transportation enterprise.

SR Air’s focus is to "provide a brand-new mode of high efficiency environmentally friendly, superior comfort travel for domestic regions, as a premium quality business commuter flight service, and to be a transitional provider between civil and business aviation."
