“Indonesia still has strong economic growth and regional centers are becoming more important for business, requiring more travel by business and government in a country larger than Europe. From Jakarta the P.180 Avanti II can reach 90% of Indonesia’s population non-stop and even the longest distance of 3.800 km to the farthest islands can be flown with one quick fuel stop.” Mrs Pudjiastuti added.
Meanwhile, Piaggio also announced that the United Arab Emirates Air Force and Air Defense has selected the P180 Avanti II as part of its fleet expansion program, which includes the acquisition of two light, multi-utility aircraft.
