Oriens Will Be Retailing The Entire Tecnam Fleet Including The P2012 Traveller Series
Tecnam has partnered with Oriens Aviation to market the whole Tecnam fleet and its twin-engine Tecnam P2012 series for the sales territories in the British Isles.
Based at London Biggin Hill Airport (EGKB), the company offers a full range of services to private aircraft owners and operators, including aircraft sales, scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, warranty work, aircraft management, AOC advisory, pilot training, operations and handling for its customers. The privately owned company holds the EASA Part 145 approval, alongside its national UK CAA 145 and FAA Service Station approvals.
Oriens Aviation will be responsible for the entire Tecnam fleet sales and service for the British Isles including the United Kingdom and the Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands.
For more than 70 years, Tecnam has been committed to serving the General Aviation community. Using metal and composite, Tecnam developed the P2008 two-seater and then the four-seater single-engine P2010 Twenty Ten, now also available with Diesel-powered engine.
With the Tecnam P2012, the P2012 accommodates nine passengers with one or two crew members. The Traveller is a new-generation, piston-powered, twin-engine, high-wing, fixed-landing-gear aircraft. The P2012 series offers also Special Mission, full cargo, Combi and Air Ambulance configurations.
A first P2012 Traveller with an airline configuration, a single-engine four-seater P2010 TDI, and a two-seater P2008JC will be heading to London in the upcoming weeks as demonstrator aircraft for the British territories.
"Oriens Aviation is delighted to be appointed the exclusive Tecnam distributor for the British Isles", said Edwin Brenninkmeyer, the CEO. "We are at the dawn of a new era of aviation with the need to seek alternative, greener and more sustainable forms of flight, where evolution will be driven from the light end of the market. Tecnam uses its strong foundation of 73 years' designing and building aircraft as a springboard for a highly innovative and forward-thinking approach that will give them an edge. We greatly value the opportunity to introduce new people to the joys of aviation through Tecnam and thereby build a strong pipeline of customers for the complete Oriens Aviation offering in the British Isles market."
