AVIATEK Expands Special Mission Aviation in Colombia with the First Tecnam P2006T NG
The new Tecnam P2006T NG SMP will support AVIATEK’s special mission operations in Colombia, including aerial surveillance, environmental monitoring and advanced aviation services.
CAPUA, Italy March 26, 2026 – Tecnam is proud to announce a significant fleet expansion for the Colombian aviation and technology company, AVIATEK Group. Already successfully operating a highly capable Tecnam P2012 Sentinel in South America, AVIATEK is now acquiring two new Tecnam P2006T NG Special Mission Platform (SMP) aircraft to enhance its global operational footprint.
This strategic acquisition bridges two continents. The first of the newly acquired P2006T NG aircraft will represent the official launch of the company’s European operations under its Polish sister organization, EKOLOT. A second P2006T NG SMP is scheduled for delivery in March and will be shipped directly to Colombia. This milestone delivery will introduce the very first P2006T NG to the country, specifically tasked to support the extensive special mission contracts AVIATEK holds throughout the Latin American region.
Luis Zapata, President & CEO of AVIATEK Group, stated: “The introduction of the Tecnam P2006T NG marks an important milestone for AVIATEK and for Colombia. As a Colombian company, we are proud to pioneer the introduction of this new generation aircraft in the country, expanding the availability of modern special mission aviation platforms in the region. This acquisition strengthens AVIATEK’s operational capabilities and reinforces our commitment to supporting surveillance, environmental monitoring, risk management, disaster response, and humanitarian operations across Latin America.”
The Tecnam P2006T NG SMP offers a highly efficient and cost-effective platform for specialized aviation. Arriving mission-ready, the aircraft is capable of adapting to a wide range of complex configurations while maintaining extraordinarily low operating costs compared to larger twin-engine alternatives. Its versatility, endurance, and reliability make it perfectly suited for the demanding operational environments of Latin America—expertly handling coastal regions, tropical climates, and diverse, challenging geographical conditions where flexibility is essential.
Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer, celebrated the growing partnership: “We are honored that AVIATEK continues to place their trust in Tecnam to carry out such critical and demanding work. Moving from the P2012 Sentinel to expanding their fleet with two new P2006T NG SMPs demonstrates the unparalleled value, reliability, and economic efficiency our Special Mission platforms provide. Whether they are launching new operations in Europe or flying crucial environmental and humanitarian missions over the diverse landscapes of Colombia, the P2006T NG will deliver the endurance and technology AVIATEK needs to succeed.”
