US Aviation Academy to acquire up to 90 Tecnam trainers

Under the agreement the flight school will acquire 38 airplanes for delivery between now and the first quarter of 2026, with an option for 52 more during 2026 and 2027. US Aviation Academy has been operating since 2006, has a fleet of more than 175 aircraft, and is instructing 1,500 flight and A&P students. The company said the new aircraft will help them meet industry demands.

“At US Aviation Academy, we are committed to providing our students with the best training experience possible, and the addition of these new Tecnam aircraft to our fleet is a testament to that commitment,” said Chief Development Officer Scott Sykes. “The Tecnam P2010 and P2006T MKII are exceptional training aircraft that offer advanced avionics, reliability, and the performance required for a comprehensive pilot training program.”

The school’s programs include professional pilot, technician, and dispatcher training. Pathways for the academy’s graduates include employment with Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, and Southwest Airlines.

"We are proud to partner with US Aviation Academy in its mission to train the next generation of pilots with the most advanced and reliable aircraft available," said Giovanni Pascale Langer, Tecnam’s managing director. "The selection of the Tecnam P2010 and P2006T MKII aircraft underscores the academy's dedication to excellence in flight training. These aircraft offer state-of-the-art avionics, exceptional performance, and operational efficiency, making them ideal for student pilots preparing for their future careers.”
