Piaggio made its first Chinese delivery of the Avanti II to distributor CAEA Aviation Investment today at Airshow China 2012 in Zhuhai. The twin turboprop, along with a second Avanti yet to be delivered, will be operated by CAEA subsidiary Free Sky Aviation in a new turbine-aircraft membership program for private clients. Beijing-based CAEA was formed last July and, in addition to new and pre-owned aircraft sales, it is also active in aircraft management, financing and leasing, as well as in business aircraft maintenance and handling.
