Tecnam has appointed Avionics 2000 in Australia as an official P2012 service centre, reinforcing its commitment to excellence in avionics and aircraft support across Australia.

This exciting development builds on the 30-year partnership between Avionics 2000 and Hallmarc Aviation, official Tecnam dealer for the country, both based at Essendon Fields, Melbourne's premier business aviation airfield. Together, they offer Tecnam operators a seamless and trusted support network backed by decades of experience and collaboration.

“We're honoured to be appointed as a Tecnam P2012 service centre,” states Michael Kus, director at Avionics 2000. “Our long-standing relationship with Hallmarc Aviation has always been built on shared values of quality, safety and customer care.”

Anna Mant, business manager at Avionics 2000, adds: “Avionics 2000 provides a comprehensive suite of services including MRO, instrument repairs and calibration, electrical and radio systems, custom avionics upgrades, special mission platform integration and R&D. This appointment allows us to bring our full capabilities to Tecnam operators, ensuring they receive the highest level of technical support and innovation.”

Michael Loccisano, CEO of Hallmarc Aviation, welcomes the announcement: “Hallmarc Aviation has worked closely with Avionics 2000 for over three decades. This new chapter with Tecnam reflects our joint commitment to providing the highest standard of service to the aviation community. This appointment further strengthens our commitment to customers across Australia, particularly in Victoria and Tasmania. Combined with in-country technical support and parts supply, Avionics 2000 brings a wealth of experience and capability to support our growing customer base for the Tecnam P2012 Traveller and STOL aircraft.”

This appointment marks a significant step forward in expanding Tecnam's support network in Australia, ensuring local operators have access to factory-authorised service and support.

Francesco Sferra, Tecnam P2012 special mission platforms sales and business development manager concludes: “The appointment of Avionics 2000 as Tecnam P2012 official service centre is a further step in consolidating the global footprint of the P2012 aircraft series and more specifically in Australia. Tecnam customers will benefit from the service centre expertise and support as well as local availability of parts.”
