Piaggio Aero Industries has signed its first major contract for 50 Avanti EVO aircraft to Hong Kong-based investment and advisory firm Bravia Capital Hong Kong. The contract include 10 firm orders and 40 options for Avanti EVO aircraft to be delivered starting from the first quarter of 2015.
The Avanti EVO, presented in May at EBACE 2014, was selected by Bravia Capital based on product characteristics that position the new Piaggio Aero aircraft as the ideal solution in today’s business aviation worldwide market. Its greater range, superior performances, reduced fuel costs, low noise footprint, state of the art safety systems, and the largest and most comfortable cabin in its segment make the EVO an immediately attractive aircraft that will appeal to individuals and businesses alike.
“The market for general aviation is a highly specialized business in the United States," said Bharat Bhise, CEO of Bravia Capital Hong Kong. "The Piaggio EVO will effectively service the east coast, west coast and numerous other areas that encompass a large percentage of the “up to three hour” sector of the market. We are very pleased to be purchasing an aircraft which so clearly fits a well defined niche in US private and business aviation.”
“This first major contract for our new Avanti EVO delivers an incredible vote of confidence to Piaggio Aero and our new business aircraft," said Alberto Galassi, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Piaggio Aero. "Bravia Capital is a highly selective customer and investor of international stature; They opted for the Avanti EVO for the combination of performance, comfort and efficiency guaranteed by our new aircraft, recognized as the best option available on the market. It is with great pride that I see the next stage of Piaggio Aero’s contribution to business aviation thanks to the state of the art technology and excellence in style of the Avanti EVO.”
