Alaskan air charter operator Kenai Aviation took delivery of its second Tecnam P2012 Traveller on Thursday at the Sun ‘n Fun Aerospace Expo. This handover comes one year after the company accepted its first 11-seat piston twin from Tecnam at Sun ‘n Fun 2022.

The company put its first P2012 in service in April last year on six scheduled, short-route round-trips (12 flights total) each weekday from its hub at Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport (PANC)—eight flights to/from Kenai Municipal Airport (PAEN) and four to/from Homer Airport (PAHO), Kenai Aviation CEO and owner Joel Caldwell told AIN.
