Cape Air orders another 10 Tecnam P2012s
US commuter airline Cape Air has firmed orders for 10 additional Tecnam P2012 Travellers, part of its ongoing plan to replace Cessna 402Cs with the new Italian aircraft. Cape Air is the nine-passenger P2012’s launch customer and has said it intends to purchase at least 100 of the Lycoming TEO-540-C1A-powered aircraft. The airline received its first P2012 in 2019 and placed the type in service in February 2020. Cape Air now has 20 P2012s in its fleet. Tecnam will produce Cape Air’s next 10 P2012s this year, it says on 30 March. Additionally, Cape Air has secured options to acquire 10 P2012s from Tecnam’s 2022 production plan, and 10 produced in 2023, the manufacturer says. The deliveries are part of Cape Air’s “final target of [acquiring] 100 aircraft to replace its legacy aircraft fleet”, Tecnam says.<br/>
