Piaggio Aerospace is celebrating what it terms a “significant double milestone” for its P.180 Avanti pusherprop twin, having sold more than 40 of the latest Evo variants since its first customer delivery in 2015. The landmark comes four decades after the type’s first flight in September 1986, which the Italian OEM defines as a period of “continuous evolution.” 

Last week, Piaggio announced the sale of two Evos to a Turkish operator, which will use them to augment its existing business jet and helicopter fleet. According to Piaggio, the sale also reinforces its “commitment to the Turkish market and to providing customers with comprehensive support throughout the aircraft’s operational life.”
