Tecnam has appointed Kristal.aero as its exclusive aircraft dealer for France. The partnership supports Tecnam’s strategic expansion across Europe and aims to strengthen its presence in the French general aviation sector. Kristal.aero will sell and promote Tecnam aircraft including the P-Mentor, P2006T NG, P2008 JC and Gran Lusso through its new Kristal.Aircraft division.

Kristal.aero CEO Gilles Wallet says: “We are proud and excited to represent Tecnam in France. Its aircraft embody innovation, efficiency and Italian elegance, values we are eager to promote throughout the French aviation community. Tecnam deserves a strong position in our market and we are fully committed to giving the brand the visibility, support and presence to match its potential. The launch of Kristal.Aircraft marks a new chapter in our development. This partnership is a natural fit and we look forward to supporting Tecnam customers with excellence and dedication.”

Tecnam chief sales officer Walter Da Costa adds: “France represents a cornerstone of general aviation in Europe. With Kristal.aero we have found a partner that not only understands the unique needs of this market but also shares our vision for accessible, modern and pilot-focused aviation. Its commitment to service, innovation and community is exactly what we look for in a Tecnam dealer. We are confident that this collaboration will offer French customers the excellence they expect in the air and on the ground.”

The agreement will support flying clubs, schools and private owners. Kristal.aero is launching Kristal.145, a Tecnam-authorised maintenance service with country-wide reach. It will also extend its digital Kristal.Air platform for flight tracking, performance data and competitions.

A 15-strong team with decades of experience will handle sales, training and aftercare. Tecnam and Kristal.aero will exhibit together at France Air Expo in Lyon from 5–7 June 2025. Kristal has also launched the Kristal Cup to inspire more flying activity in France, in keeping with Tecnam’s values.
