Pacific States Aviation Expands Multi-Engine Fleet with New Tecnam P2006T MkII
CAPUA, ITALY – August 11, 2026 – Tecnam is proud to announce that Pacific States Aviation (PSA) has expanded its growing fleet with the addition of a new Tecnam P2006T MkII (Premium Edition). The acquisition, aimed at enhancing multi-engine training capacity in the greater Bay Area, was proudly facilitated by authorized Tecnam dealer Cutter Aviation and financed by strategic lease partner Nesher.
This delivery marks the very first twin-engine aircraft to join PSA’s expanding Tecnam fleet. The integration of the P2006T MkII provides students with a modern, exceptionally fuel-efficient twin-engine platform. Offering highly reliable training operations, the aircraft features a state-of-the-art glass cockpit environment designed to closely resemble real-world commercial aviation, ensuring a seamless transition for future airline pilots.
Dedicated to environmentally responsible flight operations, Pacific States Aviation found an ideal match in Tecnam’s design philosophy. The P2006T MkII’s outstanding fuel efficiency significantly lowers carbon emissions and noise pollution compared to legacy twin-engine trainers, allowing PSA to grow sustainably.
“At Pacific States Aviation, we are deeply committed to providing environmentally responsible flight training alongside top-tier instruction,” said Rashid Yahya, Owner/President of Pacific States Aviation, Inc. “The Tecnam P2006T MkII perfectly aligns with this mission. It offers our students a highly advanced, modern multi-engine platform while allowing us to significantly reduce our environmental footprint.”
The successful delivery highlights the strength of Tecnam’s network and partners. Cutter Aviation—a cornerstone of American aviation with 98 years in business—facilitated the partnership as they celebrate their successful first year as an authorized Tecnam dealer.
“We look forward to building a strong, long-term partnership with Rashid and the team at Pacific States Aviation,” said Patrick Cote, Regional Manager – Cutter Tecnam. “We’re excited to support the continued growth of their multi-engine training program and are confident the Tecnam P2006T MkII will provide students with an exceptional training platform for years to come.”
