Tecnam Outlines Vision for Italian Regional Air Mobility and New Airline Initiatives at ENAC Event in Rome
Tecnam announces plans for an independent spin-off company, Altair, to launch a regional airline operating the P2012 Traveller to support Italy’s new short-haul network.
Capua, ITALY – July 13, 2026 – On July 8, Tecnam participated in the official inauguration of the new terminal at Rome Urbe Airport, a milestone event hosted by the Italian Civil Aviation Authority (ENAC) and ENAC Servizi to present the first routes of the new Regional Air Mobility (RAM) project.
Conceived by ENAC and its in-house company Enac Servizi, the RAM project aims to promote short-haul mobility fully integrated with other transportation systems. The objective is to create a flexible, widespread national network that improves connectivity between territories and broadens access to mobility. Under this vision, the new RAM terminal concept evolves from a simple transit facility into a gateway to the regions, fostering new air-to-air intermodality scenarios.
To showcase the ideal solutions for these new routes, Tecnam presented two aircraft on the Urbe Airport tarmac, drawing significant attention and appreciation from the attendees. The static display featured a P2012 VIP, a designated luxury and executive transport aircraft, alongside a standard P2012 Traveller equipped in a 9-seat commuter configuration.
The July 8 event was attended by key institutional figures, including the Minister of Infrastructure and Transport, Matteo Salvini; the President of the Lazio Region, Francesco Rocca; the President of ENAC, Pierluigi Di Palma; and Sole Director of ENAC Servizi, Marco Trombetti. Representing Tecnam, CEO Paolo Pascale took the stage to announce major developments for both the company and the future of Italian regional connectivity.
During his address, Pascale highlighted Altair, a maintenance and aviation services company within the Tecnam Group, and its plans to expand operations into the commercial sector.
“Altair is an independent spin-off of Tecnam that primarily provides comprehensive maintenance and aviation services,” explained Paolo Pascale, CEO of Tecnam. “Among its future objectives is the launch of a regional airline. It currently operates a helicopter and, regulations permitting, will soon operate with our P2012 Traveller aircraft.”
Pascale also highlighted significant infrastructure investments spearheaded by ENAC Servizi at Tecnam’s home base in Capua—which is officially part of the RAM airport network—and took the opportunity to thank Marco Trombetti, Sole Director of ENAC Servizi: “ENAC Servizi is completing a fantastic 1,400-meter asphalt runway at the Capua airport,” Pascale added. “Soon we will also have new parking areas, hangars, and a terminal. This will breathe new life into the Capua hub, where countless aircraft will take off, bringing new ideas, businesses, and employment. Capua is set to become a fundamental reference point for European General Aviation in Southern Italy and the Campania region.”
Expanding on the strategic importance of these developments, Marco Trombetti, Sole Director of ENAC Servizi, stated: “The development of Regional Air Mobility represents a strategic opportunity to evolve the Italian aviation system, creating a more connected, sustainable, and integrated model of mobility capable of responding to the needs of territories and communities. Enac Servizi is contributing to this vision through the enhancement of a network of territorial airports designed to become effective platforms for regional connectivity, innovation, and technological development. In this framework, Capua Airport plays a key role as one of the infrastructures enabling this new mobility model. The investments underway, including the new runway, terminal, and operational facilities, will strengthen its ability to support the future growth of regional aviation, fostering new connections, industrial opportunities, research, and training activities. Our goal is to develop an integrated airport network capable of generating public value and supporting the next generation of sustainable air transport in Italy.”
Speaking on the broader RAM initiative, Pascale emphasized how perfectly positioned Tecnam is to support the country’s new regional network with its proven twin-engine commuter.“The P2012 is our flagship aircraft, specifically designed and engineered to meet the exact needs of regional transport, just like the network planned for Italy. This aircraft is successfully exported worldwide—across Europe, the United States, Alaska, South America, the Caribbean, Australia, and New Zealand. Tecnam is ready to do its part for Italy’s Regional Air Mobility. We have the airport network, the infrastructure, the skills, the aircraft, and a shared vision. Now, we must work together to quickly develop and launch this project, which I am certain will be a great success for the country,” concluded Pascale.
