Avora Aviation has been appointed Tecnam’s official dealer for the Balkan region, representing the aircraft manufacturer in Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia-Hercegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Albania and Montenegro.

The agreement marks a significant expansion into general aviation for Avora, bringing Tecnam's aircraft to regional flight schools, private owners and commercial operators. Among the aircraft Avora will offer are the P92 Echo MKII, P2002 Sierra MKII, P2008JC NG, P-Mentor, P2010 series and twin-engine P2006T NG.

Avora will expand its portfolio from commercial airliner leasing, trading and asset management into general aviation and build a dedicated leasing product centred around the Tecnam range. The company says pairing training-proven aircraft with flexible financing will help flight schools within its sales territory renew their fleets without the upfront costs of outright purchase.

The Tecnam fleet is already familiar to Avora, which currently operates seven aircraft. The aircraft are also used by Avora Aviation Academy, the EASA-approved Approved Training Organisation (ATO) based in Sofia, Bulgaria, which was certified in early 2026.

The academy forms part of the wider Avora Group alongside Fly2Sky, a Bulgarian ACMI and charter airline operating an Airbus A320/A321 fleet, and MX Technic, the group’s EASA Part-145 maintenance organisation.

Unlike standalone flight schools, Avora Aviation Academy cadets train within a live commercial aviation ecosystem – a vertically integrated pipeline that gives graduates a clear, direct route from the training fleet to the flight deck with Fly2Sky, reflecting a controlled, quality-first approach to pilot development.

Alim Lakhiyalov, CEO of Avora Aviation, says: “Being appointed Tecnam’s dealer for the Balkans is a significant step in broadening Avora’s reach beyond commercial leasing and trading into general aviation. A central part of that vision is access to capital: the single biggest barrier to fleet renewal for flight schools is the upfront cost of modern aircraft.

“To address this, we will develop a dedicated leasing product around the Tecnam range, pairing trusted aircraft with flexible financing so training organisations across the region can renew their fleets without the burden of outright purchase.

“It also reinforces our own training mission, with Tecnam’s training-proven fleet a natural fit for Avora Aviation Academy in Sofia as we develop the next generation of pilots.”

Tecnam MD Giovanni Pascale Langer says: “We are thrilled to welcome Avora Aviation to the Tecnam family as our official dealer for the Balkan region. Its innovative approach to aircraft leasing, combined with its vertically integrated aviation group and airline-backed training academy, makes it an ideal partner.”
