Italian aircraft manufacturer Tecnam Aircraft is proud to announce the delivery of the first batch of two P2012 Traveller aircraft to Pacific Air Charter Inc. in Hawaii. Following the delivery of the first aircraft in August 2023, this second aircraft took off from Santa Maria (SMX) California and arrived in Honolulu (HNL) after a 14h 57m flight over the sea.
With a third P2012 aircraft currently being assembled at Tecnam’s facility in Capua, Italy, and 24 additional Travellers on option, Pacific Air Charters Inc.’s fleet is growing rapidly to serve the Pacific market.
Known for offering its customers the ultimate in luxury and safety, Pacific Air Charters, Inc. is the premium provider of air charter services in the Hawaiian Islands. Multi-engine operations over water provide a significant safety advantage for the company’s market area. The P2012 Traveller will also offer very competitive operating costs due to its FADEC piston Lycoming engines. Passenger comfort was a key factor in the operator’s decision: All single seats with generous pitch, dedicated window and in-seat amenities, USB port, cup holder, seat pocket, armrest; plus overhead stowage and dual air conditioning (which can also be operated on the ground via a DC power connection to “pre-cool” the aircraft prior to boarding) offer limousine level comfort and convenience.
The first P2012 Traveller delivered to Hawaii demonstrated its versatility when a series of wildfires broke out in the US state of Hawaii in early August 2023, mainly on the island of Maui. The aircraft, operated by Pacific Air Charter Inc, had only been in Hawaii for 10 days when it was used to transport and deliver thousands of pounds of desperately needed food, medicine and other supplies to Maui and, on return flights, to evacuate those who needed medical attention in Honolulu.
Pat McNamee, Pacific Air Charters, Inc. Chief Operating Officer and 135 Director of Operations, said, “The P2012 Traveller confirmed that this is the perfect platform for this area. We are focused on premium services, but the aircraft has many capabilities and expands our options.”
“After one of the world’s most demanding ferry flights between the US West Coast and Hawai’i, our P2012 Traveller immediately demonstrated its versatility, being able to be configured for any mission required to serve a community. And with this last 15-hour ferry flight, we have set a new record for Tecnam!” Said Francesco Sferra, Tecnam P2012 – Special Mission Platforms Sales & Business Development Manager.

AeroInside and ELITE have entered a new partnership – enabling a data driven approach that finds relevant and up-to-date accident and incident investigation reports in all fields of aviation – worldwide. These fields cover both fixed wing aircraft as well as rotorcraft. “By using these findings we can add crucial information to real world flying and simulator training sessions,” said Fabian Rahm, founder and owner of AeroInside, based in Switzerland. Both companies share the same goal: improvement of aviation safety through specific and targeted learning.
Entrepreneur Fabian Rahm had worked from 2009 to 2012 as a software developer at ELITE and has therefore a thorough knowledge of the flight simulation industry. He has maintained an amicable contact with the highly skilled ELITE team up to today which has resulted in this new partnership. Mr. Rahm is extremely happy about this win-win situation.
ELITE is constantly looking at ways how to innovate and add value to its products for the end customers. By working with the well-known data research company AeroInside, ELITE is now able to offer its customers access to a very vast and detailed aircraft accident and incident database.
Each new FNPT II customer is going to get a year’s free access to the “AeroInside SafetyScan Pro“. In other words, there will be two separate login accounts for the head of training and the head of safety. Thanks to an intensive brand-awareness cooperation, existing AeroInside customers are going to get to know all the products ELITE can offer from home user simulation equipment to EASA/FAA certified FNPTs FTDs/AATDs.
René Huddlestone, sales manager at ELITE Flight Simulation Solutions AG, is absolutely thrilled about this new partnership and said: “The access to AeroInside SafetyScan Pro will be helpful to our customers CFI’s in re-creating real world training scenarios. By utilizing our simulators and implementing the knowledge out of these accident reports, our exclusive customers will further enhance pilot situational awareness as well as safety concepts management.”
