Altair Solutions launches at a pivotal moment in the evolution of the Capua Aerospace Hub.

Beyond its role within the Tecnam ecosystem, Altair intends to leverage this infrastructure to develop premium fixed base operator (FBO) services and become a strategic gateway for general aviation and business aviation throughout the Mediterranean region.
Located just north of Naples and positioned along Italy's main north-south aviation corridor, Capua airport offers efficient access to key destinations while avoiding the congestion typically associated with larger commercial airports. This unique combination of accessibility, operational efficiency and infrastructure positions Altair Solutions to support future growth across multiple aviation segments, including turboprop and business jet operations.

Through our strategic partnership with Altair Solutions, we are reinforcing that commitment by creating a dedicated organisation capable of delivering the expertise, responsiveness and quality our customers expect from the Tecnam name. This approach allows Tecnam to remain focused on innovation and manufacturing excellence, while ensuring operators worldwide benefit from outstanding lifecycle support.”
