Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM has received an order for two P2012 Traveller aircraft from Pacific Air Charters as well as 23 additional options to expand the fleet, with immediate delivery. The aircraft will be used for the Honolulu-based airline’s Hawaii operations.

The P2012 Traveller offers competitive operating costs due to its FADEC piston Lycoming engines and has features including a generous pitch for single seats, dedicated window and in-seat amenities, USB ports, cupholders, seat pockets, armrests as well as in-cabin luggage compartments and a dual air conditioning system.

“We are excited to bring comfortable, convenient and modern multi-engine travel to the island of Hawaii and other areas of the Pacific Ocean,” said Pat McNamee, Chief Operating Officer and 135 Director of Operations at Pacific Air Charters. “The P2012 Traveller is the perfect aircraft for our routes.”

Francesco Sferra, P2012 and Special Mission Platform Sales and Business Development Manager, TECNAM, added: “We are thrilled and honoured that Pacific Air Charters, Inc. has chosen Tecnam as their trusted partner for their passenger operations in the Pacific region.
