Greybird Aviation Group has signed a fleet expansion agreement at AERO Friedrichshafen, adding three Tecnam P2006T NG twin-engine aircraft as part of a 13 aircraft order supporting its European growth.
The Danish academy’s training model centres on a “uniform fleet” approach, with consistent Garmin glass cockpit layouts used from initial flight training through to multi-engine qualification. This structure reduces transition time between aircraft types and supports safer, more efficient progression.
The Tecnam P2006T NG plays a central role in that pathway. As a cost-efficient twin-engine platform, it enables cadets to move into multi-engine flying without relearning cockpit logic. Instead, training can focus directly on handling twin-engine aerodynamics and advanced operational procedures.
The aircraft is positioned as the final step in a streamlined training pipeline, aligning with airline expectations for standardised, technology-led training environments.
“At Greybird, our core philosophy is to provide our cadets with the most modern, uniform, and airline-relevant training environment possible,” says Søren Møller, founder and CTO at Greybird Aviation Group. “The Tecnam P2006T NG and P-Mentor are the perfect fit for this vision. This 13-aircraft order allows us to sustainably scale our operations across our European bases while ensuring our students are flying the absolute best glass-cockpit aircraft on the market today.”
Walter Da Costa, chief sales officer at Tecnam, adds: “Greybird has built a reputation for innovation and excellence in flight training. Its commitment to a standardised, high-tech fleet is exactly what modern airlines are looking for in graduating cadets. We are extremely proud to secure this order at AERO 2026 and to provide Greybird with a highly efficient, sustainable fleet that will power its European expansion for years to come.”
