Piaggio Announces More Orders As Company Sale Moves Closer To Reality Following the Farnborough Air Show Piaggio made an announcement that it had secured a contract to provide Oyonnair -A French operator- with a new P.180 Avanti EVO. If all goes according to plan the company may well look to order more of the type. "We are very excited to announce the purchase of a new Avanti Evo, the perfect fit aircraft for medevac operations," said Daniel Vovk, Chief Executive Officer of Oyonnair. "The Avanti Evo is fast, versatile and an efficiency champion, thanks to the lowest fuel consumption in its category and the option of flying SAF, thus reducing carbon emissions. With the new configuration, we can offer to our clients even better performance: for this reason, and according to our growth strategy, we are now aiming at ordering three more aircraft by the end of this year".
At present, with its 42 employees, Oyonnair is the leading operator in Europe in medical evacuation, with a yearly average of 5 thousand flight hours and over 1200 missions. In the years 2020 and 2021, the company helped the French government with the Covid crisis, by evacuating approximately 250 patients from saturated hospitals to less busy ones. "Piaggio Aerospace is grateful to Oyonnair for the renewed trust into the Avanti EVO, the company’s flagship product, and Piaggio Aerospace itself", said Vincenzo Nicastro, PiaggioAerospace’s Extraordinary Commissioner. "Now that we are definitively close to identifying a new owner, such an announcement confirms that the company is healthy and ‘on the market’, ready to further unleash its potential".
