A Turkey-based operator has placed an order for two P.180 Avanti EVO aircraft from Piaggio Aerospace.

The two aircraft, the first to be sold in Turkey, will be configured to support both executive transport and air ambulance missions, reflecting the growing demand for multi-role platforms in regional aviation. The order comes off the back of Piaggio Aerospace’s acquisition by the Turkish Baykar Group in July this year.

“This order reinforces the strong international positioning of the Avanti EVO,” says Piaggio CEO Giovanni Tomassini. “Thanks to the full support of our new owner Baykar, we are building a new future for Piaggio Aerospace, and this contract is a tangible sign of the trust customers place in our aircraft and in our role in the business aviation market.”
