Greek flight training organization Global Aviation Academy has ordered five of Elixir Aircraft’s new Elixir+ two-seat trainer. The deal announced at the Aero Friedrichshafen show on Wednesday makes the school the European launch customer for the upgraded model, which was on the French manufacturer’s stand.

Deliveries to Greece are expected to start in July, with Global starting to replace its current fleet of 20 aircraft, including several Piper and Cessna pistons. In June, Elixir expects to deliver further examples of the new version to U.S. customers Cirrus Aviation and Sierra Charlie Aviation.
