AERO CLUB CATANIA EXPANDS FLEET WITH TECNAM P2008JC
The Italian ATO has chosen Tecnam since 2003.
Capua, Italy – Tecnam and AERO CLUB CATANIA today announced the delivery for two (2) Tecnam P2008JC single engine two-seater aircraft. These new aircraft will be used for ab-initio training and keep the high standards of the school.
This new acquisition will innovate AERO CLUB CATANIA fleet, standardise the fleet and increase ATO capacity. This new and significant investment is part of AERO CLUB CATANIA commitment to ensure that future commercial pilots are trained on modern aircraft such as the wide range of Tecnam models.
AERO CLUB CATANIA, based on international airport Catania–Fontanarossa, also known as Vincenzo Bellini Airport, on the slopes of volcano Etna ,already has a P2006T, P2002JF and P92JS in its fleet and the ATO has also a certified simulator to train the hundreds prospecting pilots serving the world’s leading carriers. One of the reasons for this choice, apart from the excellent fuel consumption, is the excellent safety record and the lowest CO2 emissions, making the Tecnams the aircraft of choice for students and flight schools.
Filippo Papale, President at AERO CLUB CATANIA, said: “Our relationship with Tecnam goes beyond that of a typical vendor and customer. Since choosing Tecnam in 2003, we have become part of the Tecnam family, growing together and working to make flying in Italy more accessible and safe.”
“We are honored that AERO CLUB CATANIA has chosen our aircraft for its expansion. This collaboration underscores our commitment to providing students with a modern, technologically advanced training platform, essential for navigating today’s complex airline environment. Tecnam aircraft serve as a vital bridge, ensuring a seamless transition into professional aviation.” Said Giovanni Pascale Langer. Tecnam’s Managing Director

About AERO CLUB CATANIA
The Aero Club of Catania was founded in 1934 by a group of enthusiasts who had already been flying a few private planes over the Catania-Fontanarossa airport since the 1920s. With the only brief interlude of the years of the Second World War, the Aero Club of Catania has always worked to promote aviation culture also through an efficient Flight School that has now reached levels of undisputed professionalism to the point of becoming one of Italy’s major training realities.
