Italy's Guardia di Finanza, the Italian financial police, has signed a contract with Piaggio Aerospace for the acquisition of one P.180 Avanti EVO aircraft, including initial logistic support and the option for additional units and/or supplies. The new aircraft will enhance the existing fleet, which already includes two P.180 Avanti II, boosting tactical transport capabilities and operational readiness.

The P.180 Avanti EVO for the Guardia di Finanza represents the state-of-the-art evolution of the iconic model: in addition to being quieter and more environmentally conscious, it features upgraded onboard systems, a widened door for cargo and medevac operations, and an additional fuel tank for extended range and mission flexibility.

This agreement comes at a strategic time for Piaggio Aerospace, following its recent acquisition by Turkish aerospace leader Baykar.
