Pacific Air Charters Incorporated (PACI) has officially launched on-demand charter services throughout Hawaii, utilising a dedicated fleet of Tecnam P2012 Travellers. Following recent FAA authorisation, PACI is poised to redefine inter-island travel with a flexible, safe and environmentally conscious approach.

The Tecnam P2012 Traveller is a twin-engine aircraft specifically designed for short-haul operations, making it a good fit for Hawaii's neighbour island routes. Manufactured in Capua, Italy, the P2012 offers versatility with multiple interior configurations and features that ensure comfort, safety and performance.

“Our mission at PACI is to offer customisable charter flights designed to meet the unique needs of our clients,” says PACI CEO Marshall Ashley. “We are thrilled to introduce the Tecnam Traveller fleet, which allows us to provide a tailored experience across a wide range of charter needs.”

PACI's new services are designed to meet the needs of various groups including business travellers, sporting teams, families, golf groups, sightseeing tourists and tour operators. The nine-passenger P2012 aircraft provides a premium charter experience without the need for TSA screening, enabling faster, more convenient travel.

Francesco Sferra, Tecnam's sales and business development manager, states: “The launch of PACI's charter operations with our P2012 Travellers is a testament to Tecnam's commitment to providing modern, efficient and sustainable air mobility solutions. We're honoured to support PACI's vision for premium charter services in Hawaii and are confident the P2012 will exceed expectations across the board.”

Beyond passenger comfort, the P2012 also offers capabilities for cargo transport and medevac missions. The aircraft's advanced avionics and dual-pilot configuration further enhance operational safety and performance.

PACI is also committed to sustainability, operating its aircraft on G100UL lead-free aviation fuel. The P2012's advanced electronic engine control system contributes to best-in-class fuel efficiency and reduced environmental impact.

“We are proud to introduce a fleet that embodies our dedication to safety, reliability and exceptional customer service,” concludes Ashley. “Our environmentally friendly aircraft are ready to meet your inter-island travel needs, whether for business, leisure or health-related purposes.”
