EAS Barcelona Celebrates 10th Anniversary with Major Fleet Expansion
Invests Over €4 Million in Tecnam P2006T NG and P-Mentor
CAPUA, Italy / BARCELONA, Spain — 15 January 2026 — Tecnam is proud to announce that EAS Barcelona, a leading European Approved Training Organisation (ATO), has committed to a significant fleet expansion and modernization program valued at over €4 million.
Coinciding with the school’s 10th anniversary, this investment reinforces the long-standing partnership between Tecnam and EAS Barcelona, positioning the ATO as the operator of the largest Tecnam training fleet in Spain, now exceeding 30 aircraft.
Despite already operating one of the youngest fleets in Europe—with an average aircraft age of under four years—EAS Barcelona is taking a decisive step toward the future. The agreement includes:
- Acquisition of six (6) P2006T NG, increasing the school’s multi-engine capacity.
- Addition of two (2) Tecnam P-Mentor aircraft, which will join the single-engine training platform following an order placed in late 2025.
The new aircraft will progressively enter service beginning mid-2026. This strategy ensures EAS Barcelona offers the highest concentration of new-generation Tecnam aircraft among European ATOs, specifically designed to replicate the avionics and systems management of modern commercial airliners.
The fleet renewal underscores a shared commitment to environmental responsibility. Powered by the latest-generation Rotax 912iSc3 engines, the new P2006T NG and P-Mentor models deliver approximately 20% lower fuel consumption per flight hour compared to previous generations. This efficiency aligns EAS Barcelona’s growth with European aviation sustainability objectives, integrating responsible practices from the earliest stages of pilot training.
“We are incredibly proud that EAS Barcelona has chosen Tecnam once again to mark such a significant milestone as their 10th anniversary,” said Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer. “This substantial investment in the P2006T NG and P-Mentor confirms that our fleet solution is the preferred choice for top-tier ATOs. It is an honor to support EAS Barcelona in delivering airline-oriented, sustainable, and technologically advanced training to the next generation of pilots.”
Jorge Garcia, EAS Barcelona Head of Training, added: “Tecnam aircraft allow us to deliver airline-oriented training using platforms that reflect modern avionics, systems management, and operational efficiency. This fleet expansion strengthens our long-term commitment to training quality, sustainability, and operational realism.”
