Tecnam Flight Academy is proud to announce the addition of the new Tecnam P-Mentor to its training aircraft fleet. With this important addition, the flight school reinforces its commitment to training the next generation of pilots, with a strong focus on safety, efficiency, and innovation.

The P-Mentor, Tecnam’s latest aircraft, represents the perfect blend of advanced technology and cost optimization, making it ideal for IFR training. This aircraft joins an already all-Tecnam fleet:

• 2x Tecnam P2008 JC
• 1x Tecnam P2006T (2006)
• 1x Tecnam P2010 TDI
• 1x Tecnam P-Mentor (new)

Additional aircraft will be added in the coming months to further modernize the fleet.

“I’m particularly proud of this synergy that combines our educational experience with Tecnam’s technological excellence. This enables us to offer our students top-tier training, aligned with the needs of modern airlines.” — Carolina Pascale Langer, Accountable Manager.

With a growing number of students, the Academy offers modular training programs from PPL to ATPL, ensuring a consistent and highly professional training experience, thanks to a modern fleet fully integrated with Tecnam technology.

The P-Mentor is a two-seat single-engine piston aircraft, fully IFR-compliant and certified under the latest CS-23 EASA and FAA standards, enabling PBN/RNAV/AFCS capabilities. Today’s flight schools can rely on a single platform to train students from their first flight through to the CPL-IR, featuring a variable-pitch propeller, simulated retractable landing gear, and UPRT.

The P-Mentor has been designed to offer the best human-machine interface, resulting in the most effective VFR/IFR training experience. Its large fuel tank allows flight schools to fly all day without refueling, increasing operational value. Low maintenance costs, low fuel consumption, and excellent value-for-money make the P-Mentor a unique and profitable asset for any modern flight school.

The introduction of the P-Mentor further strengthens the strategic partnership with Tecnam, delivering key advantages such as:

• Standardized and continuous training methodology
• Operational cost efficiency
• State-of-the-art avionics
• Direct manufacturer support
• Enhanced brand value
• Additional training for Tecnam customers (avionics, additional ratings)

Giovanni Pascale Langer, Managing Director at Tecnam, stated:

“The collaboration between Tecnam and the flight school is a natural extension of the passion for aviation that has always driven our family. Through Tecnam Flight Academy, we have the unique opportunity to experience what our customers do, further strengthening our commitment to a modern, high-quality, pilot- and school-centered aviation approach.”

Tradition, innovation, and vision — these are the driving forces taking Tecnam to new horizons. Based on recent data and industry benchmarks, Tecnam offers the world’s most environmentally friendly training fleet. Flight schools using Tecnam’s single- and twin-engine aircraft can save up to 10 tons of CO₂ emissions per student earning their Commercial Pilot License — a 60% reduction over 155 flight hours, including 30 in a twin-engine, compared to traditional fleets using older 100LL-fueled aircraft.

Capua, Italy – July 22, 2025 – Tecnam is proud to announce the sale of two P2012 Traveller aircraft to Jags Aviation Inc., a dynamic and fast-growing aviation enterprise in Guyana, and a valued member of the BK Group of Companies.

The delivery of the two brand-new P2012 Travellers, powered with 750hp Continental GTSIO-520-S, is scheduled for the first and third weeks of August 2025. One of the aircraft is currently featured at the prestigious EAA AirVenture Oshkosh, highlighting Tecnam’s leadership in cutting-edge regional aviation solutions.

The two aircraft are configured for a dual role: transport and medevac. The transport configuration allows for normal passenger operations, while the medevac configuration allows for medical transportation day and night.

The Tecnam fleet operated by Jags will be working in the hot and humid tropical conditions of Guyana’s highlands. The P2012 will showcase its strength, durability and versatility in conditions ranging from blistering sunshine to heavy rain.

“We are excited to partner with Jags Aviation Inc. in their mission to transform regional air connectivity in Guyana,” said Francesco Sferra, Tecnam P2012 Special Mission Platforms Sales & Business Development Manager and Experimental Test Pilot. “The P2012 Traveller is perfectly suited to meet the diverse and demanding operational needs of Guyana. With its advanced safety features, operational flexibility, and low operating costs, it offers an unparalleled solution for operators looking to deliver both passenger and cargo services across the country.”

Brian Tiwarie, Executive Chairman of Jags Aviation Inc., emphasized the broader vision behind this investment: “Tecnam is bringing modern concepts and enhanced safety aspects to the aviation world, and particularly to Guyana, which has long operated in a very limited capacity and ‘Jurassic’ era. The addition of these Tecnam aircraft will greatly bolster the dynamic and modern fleet here at Jags Aviation Inc., allowing us to significantly enhance Guyana’s tourism sector and provide reliable air connectivity. We are considering acquiring two additional aircraft in 2026 to support our growing operations.”

Jags Aviation is also advancing its capabilities by becoming both an Approved Training Organisation (ATO) and Flight Training Organisation (FTO), aiming to develop local aviation talent and build sustainable aviation infrastructure in Guyana.

Under the visionary leadership of Mr. Brian Tiwarie, Jags Aviation Inc. is rapidly positioning itself as a transformative force in Guyana’s aviation sector. Mr. Tiwarie also leads BK International Inc., Guyana’s largest privately-owned construction company, which has built a reputation through landmark projects funded by both public and international agencies. “With the largest pool of construction and transportation assets in Guyana, the BK Group of Companies is now taking to the skies.” added Mr. Tiwarie.
