Blue Skies Aviation Solutions (Pvt) Ltd (BSA) has entered into a contract with Tecnam to acquire four brand-new aircraft, Three Tecnam P-Mentor trainers and one Tecnam P2006T NG twin-engine aircraft, marking a major milestone in Sri Lanka’s aviation sector. These aircraft will be delivered to Sri Lanka in couple of months.
Under the Blue Skies group structure, the Air Operator Certificate (AOC) will be held and operated by BSA, while the Flight Training Organisation (ATO) will be established under a wholly owned sister company, ensuring clear regulatory separation with strong operational and safety alignment.
This induction represents a historic first for Sri Lanka, as it is the first time brand-new, state-of-the-art aircraft have been introduced specifically for the flight-training role, setting a new benchmark for training quality, safety, and standardisation in the country.
The fleet selection underpins a fully integrated training-to-operations pathway. The Tecnam P-Mentor aircraft will serve as the backbone of ab-initio, VFR, and IFR training, featuring modern glass-cockpit avionics, FADEC-controlled powerplant, and high fuel efficiency tailored for intensive training environments.
The Tecnam P2006T NG, powered by twin Rotax 912 iSc engines and equipped with an advanced avionics suite and autopilot capability, will support multi-engine and advanced instrument training, while also being deployed for CAT-aligned operations under the AOC.
In parallel, Blue Skies Aviation Solutions will be appointed as an Authorized Tecnam Repair Station in Sri Lanka, providing OEM-aligned maintenance and technical support.
This combined capability strengthens operational resilience, enhances training realism, and positions the Blue Skies group as a cornerstone of modern, internationally aligned aviation training and operations in Sri Lanka.
