The new aircraft will allow Seychelles airline to expand new operations.
Capua – Tecnam announced today that Islands Development Company (IDC), airline based in the Seychelles, has commenced scheduled operations with its first P2012 STOLs delivered just one month ago.
Following aircraft acceptance and crew training in Italy, the aircraft was delivered via a challenging ferry flight across Africa to reach the Seychelles archipelago.
The P2012 STOL is the ideal platform for inter-island connections between Seychelles International Airport and the smaller airports on the surrounding islands. The P2012 STOL, with its 315m take-off run and 225m landing run, coupled with a certified 10° (17.5%) steep approach, ensures excellent performance even on the smallest runways in the archipelago, while maintaining twin-engine safety and excellent on-board comfort and accommodation.
Tecnam’s innovative and modern design of an aircraft built with commuter passengers in mind will allow IDC passengers to experience the comfort and luxury of modern amenities and ergonomic design, providing a high level of service to their communities.
The P2012 STOL, which comfortably seats nine passengers with one or two crew, is a new generation, turbocharged, twin-engine, high wing aircraft. Its introduction to the Islands Development Company’s fleet will offer experiences that discerning travellers expect, such as premium interiors, in-seat power, superior legroom and under-seat stowage.
Giovanni Pascale Langer, Tecnam Managing Director, said: “From Alaska to Hawaii, from the Caribbean to the Seychelles, the P2012 is proving to be the aircraft of choice for many operators due to its modern design and low operating costs.”
Glenny Savy, IDC Chief Executive Officer (CEO) said: “The Tecnam P2012 STOL is a strategic addition to IDC’s fleet. This versatile aircraft will enhance operations on all the islands managed by IDC, especially those with shorter airfields, improving accessibility and operational efficiency”.
