Tecnam traces its roots back to the activities of the Italian brothers Luigi and Giovanni Pascale, who developed and produced innovative aircraft soon after the end of WWII (1948) and have continued ever since to create original models that gained worldwide recognition under the name Partenavia. Established in March 1986, Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM now operates in three production facilities.
The Casoria facility is located adjacent to Naples Capodichino Airport. The Capua facility is located adjacent to the “Oreste Salomone” Airport. Recently a new facility was established in Sebring, Florida, USA to serve and support the needs of Tecnam North American based owners and operators. Sixty six years later the “Professore” – Luigi Pascale, continues to design beautiful, but highly functional aircraft such as the award winning P2008, P2010 and the much awaited Astore, low wing replacement for the class leading Tecnam Sierra P2002. As well as being a fully approved supplier to the commercial aviation sector, Tecnam has produced around 4,000 light aircraft propelling it to world leadership in the Light Sport eligible market. With active sales in over 60 countries supported by more than 100 service centers, Tecnam’s passion for aviation has spread across the globe like wildfire. Not satisfied with leadership in the Light Sport eligible arena, Tecnam also produces the fastest selling fully certified twin, the P2006T, that is transforming flight school economics worldwide. In 2014, Tecnam started the delivery the P2010 four seat, fully certified single to its flight school and private customers as the only new design in the high wing market from a major manufacturer of certified aircraft. The company is also in the Defence/Surveillance market with a Special Mission Platform department and commercial aviation aircraft, the P2012 Traveller.
