Turkey to host two innovative P180 EVOs
Since its first delivery to an operator in 2015, the EVO has continued the evolution of the P180 platform, building on its established design while introducing further advances in technology and systems.
The type is known for its reverse thrust engines.

A Turkish operator is investing in a pair of Piaggio P180 Avanti EVOs, strengthening the presence of the Italian-made aircraft in the Turkish market.

The agreement adds two new aircraft to the operator's existing business jet and helicopter fleet and reflects continued customer interest in the P.180 Avanti EVO, whose combination of speed, efficiency and cabin comfort makes it particularly well suited to a wide range of missions.

Since its first delivery to an operator in 2015, the EVO has continued the evolution of the P180 platform, building on its established design while introducing further advances in technology and systems.

“This agreement is another important step for Piaggio Aerospace and for the P180 Avanti EVO,” comments Cristian Toninelli, CEO of Piaggio Aerospace. “We are pleased to welcome another Turkish operator to the growing community of P180 customers and to see continued interest in an aircraft that has demonstrated its value across a broad range of markets.”

The sale also reinforces Piaggio Aerospace's commitment to the Turkish market and to providing customers with comprehensive support throughout the aircraft's operational life.

With the P180 Avanti EVO continuing to attract customers around the world, Piaggio Aerospace is also preparing for the next chapter in the P180's development with the Avanti NX, for which the company has already received its first orders and is seeing strong interest from prospective customers.
