Tecnam has delivered its P2012 Traveller demonstrator aircraft to Transair Leasing, its official dealer for Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Peru, following the aircraft’s appearance at F-Air Colombia 2025.

The demonstrator has been stationed in Quito, Ecuador, where it will support private, commercial and special mission operations, as well as lead a demonstration tour across Panama, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. Tecnam says the aircraft will help to build market awareness, accelerate certification efforts and showcase the P2012’s versatility and Italian design to prospective clients.

“Our delivery of the first P2012 Traveller to Ecuador marks an exciting chapter for Tecnam in the Andean region,” says Francesco Sferra, P2012 special mission platforms sales and business development manager and experimental test pilot at Tecnam. “This aircraft exemplifies our relentless pursuit of innovation, aerodynamic excellence and Italian design. We are delighted to see it become a key asset in building regional awareness, generating leads and supporting certification initiatives.”

Diego Ribadeneira, director of Transair Leasing, adds: “Our joint participation at F-Air Colombia 2025 earlier this month was a resounding success. We proudly introduced the Tecnam P2012 to the Andean region and officially launched Transair Leasing’s regional representation. The aircraft quickly became a crowd favourite, sparking strong interest for private, commercial and specialised operations across Colombia and Ecuador. We remain committed to showcasing the P2012 across the region to increase awareness and drive future sales.”
