Piaggio Avanti

Overview

• The Piaggio Avanti flies as fast and high as some corporate jets while burning about 30 percent less fuel, and its distinctive looks and Italian styling make it stand out on any ramp. The Avanti has been in production since 1986, and it is used extensively by both private and government operators in applications that include executive transport, air ambulance, and maritime patrol.
