Italy’s Cantor Air Acquires 3 Tecnam P2006T NG Aircraft for Multi-Engine Training

Italy – Cantor Air, a Valbrembo-based Approved Training Organization (ATO), has confirmed the acquisition of three new Tecnam P2006T NG aircraft, further advancing its fleet modernization and commitment to delivering high-standard, competency-based pilot training programs.

• The agreement includes three Tecnam P2006T NG aircraft, with options for additional units in the future.

• These additions will complement Cantor Air’s existing Tecnam fleet, which already includes the single-engine P2008JC and P2010 TDI models.

• The aircraft share a common Garmin G1000 NXi avionics suite, providing cadets with a consistent training experience throughout both single- and multi-engine phases.

• The new P2006T NG also features an advanced Flight Management System (FMS) keypad, aligning closely with modern airline operational environments and supporting Competency-Based Training (CBT) delivery.

• The aircraft’s Rotax engines offer leading fuel efficiency and low emissions, reinforcing Cantor Air’s environmentally responsible fleet strategy.

• The upgrade supports a seamless training flow from instrument rating through to commercial pilot licensing (CPL), ensuring students train on aircraft aligned with operational airline standards.

Statements

• “The acquisition of the new Tecnam P2006T NG aircraft will undoubtedly bring innovation and, above all, continuity with the decisions made two years ago. In fact, today our students will continue the IFR and CPL phases started on the P2010TDI, equipped with the state-of-the-art GARMIN NXi suite, moving on to the brand-new P2006NG while maintaining the same avionics platform, with the addition of an FMS system increasingly aligned with airline operational standards. It is also worth highlighting that this choice responds to a growing demand for environmentally responsible solutions—a transition that CANTOR AIR had already embraced with the previous acquisitions of the TECNAM P2008JC and P2010TDI.” – Capt. Roberto Magnani, Head of Training, Cantor Air

• “We are proud to see Cantor Air confirm their trust in Tecnam by choosing the P2006T NG as their multi-engine trainer of choice. This acquisition not only highlights the operational efficiency of our ‘Next Generation’ fleet but also validates the effectiveness of a standardized training path. By moving from the P2010 TDI to the P2006T NG, Cantor Air is offering its students a logical, modern, and sustainable progression that perfectly prepares them for the professional aviation environment.” – Francesco Sferra, Sales and Business Development Manager, Tecnam
