Tecnam has become an aircraft partner by delivering two of three Tecnam aircraft to LOT Polish Airlines' flight training school, LOT Flight Academy.

Initial deliveries were for one Tecnam P2008JC and one Tecnam P2006T twin. The next Tecnam P2008JC will be delivered to LOT Flight Academy within the next few days.

LOT's selection of Tecnam followed a most rigorous selection and intensive evaluation process involving all leading general aviation manufacturers.

Tomasz Skomorowski, LOT Flight Academy head of training said, “We were delighted with the way Tecnam responded to our challenging tender requirements. Of course the Tecnam aircraft speak for themselves, be it in terms of reliability and low operating costs. However, we found Tecnam's in-service reputation, support and professionalism in particular reinforced our decision to choose them as our partner in our new LOT Flight Academy venture”.

“We are very proud the Polish Airlines' LOT Flight Academy has chosen Tecnam to partner its flight training academy aspirations” said Paolo Pascale, Tecnam's managing director. “With many Tecnam P2008s amd P2006Ts already in service worldwide, including 15 aircraft operating with Aero-Club Air France, we are delighted that we are the aircraft of choice for so many of the world's leading flight training organisations”.

LOT Polish Airlines has built an enviable reputation for service and innovation in the commercial airline world. They were the first European airline to introduce the Boeing 787 Dreamliner into service and the establishment of its LOT Flight Academy is set to support its significant expansion plans.
