Tecnam Announces Delivery of 2 P2012 Traveller Continental Aircraft to RORAIMA Airways in Guyana

Capua, Italy – Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM is proud to announce the delivery of two P2012 Traveller Continental aircraft to RORAIMA Airways in Guyana.

Upon performing the aircraft acceptance in the Tecnam premises in Capua, Italy, the first aircraft has been transferred to Guyana in a ferry flight that has been performed by a joint team including RORAIMA Airways’ Director of Aviation and Chief Pilot Gerald Gouveia Jr., that flew the aircraft from Canada to the new home base in Guyana, where the aircraft will be employed for passenger and medical services.

The Government of Guyana is investing heavily in aviation infrastructure and the P2012 will be one of the pillars in the modernisation of Guyana’s aviation. RORAIMA Airways will be able to offer charter flights to or from any part of the Caribbean and Northern Brazil to Guyana with ease and the highest level of service, safety and comfort to its customers.

Renowned for offering its customers the ultimate in luxury and safety, RORAIMA Airways is the premium provider of air charter services in Guyana and northern Brazil, where multi-engine operations over the varied terrain and over water provide a significant safety advantage for the company’s market area.

Passenger comfort was a key factor in the operator’s decision: all single seats are generously spaced, with individual window and seat amenities, double in-seat USB ports, cup holder, seat pocket, armrest; plus under seat stowage and dual air conditioning (that can be ground operated on DC power to ‘pre-cool’ the aircraft prior to boarding) offer limousine levels of comfort and convenience. The P2012 Traveller Series also offers very competitive operating costs.

The two new aircraft are provided with multi mission configurations that will also enable RORAIMA to offer 24-hour Air Ambulance operations, raising the bar for medical evacuation and air ambulance flights in the country, as well as cargo capability.

RORAIMA Airways is the first operator of the P2012 Traveller in the region and Tecnam will continue to work with them and the Guyana Civil Aviation Authority to develop solutions to meet local air travel needs.

RORAIMA Airways’ Director of Aviation and Chief Pilot Gerald Gouveia Jr.added: “We are expanding the VIP passenger experience, charter operations, cargo and medevac flights, offering a higher level of safety and luxury even in the jungle “Roraima has a very proud history of providing these services to the people of Guyana during the day and the night. Due to the risk of operating in the jungle without proper weather reporting and adverse weather conditions, we had actually restricted the night flying at the company. With the Tecnam aircraft and the added technology and safety standards, as well as the work that the government is doing to improve the quality of the airstrips across Guyana, we are looking to restart our night medevac service. I can safely say, as the director of aviation, I am in a position where I will be more comfortable dispatching night medevac flights.”

“Providing a new and vital service is the mission of our P2012 Traveller in all its variants. The versatility of the Continental Traveller with multi missioin capability will be a key success factor for Roraima’s operations,” said Francesco Sferra, Tecnam P2012 – Special Mission Platforms Sales & Business Development Manager.

About Roraima Airways
Roraima Airways was incorporated in 1992 by Captains Gerald and Debra Gouveia, who are now joined by their two sons Captains Gerald Jr. and Kevin Gouveia, they are all qualified Airline Pilots. The company’s operations are based on all aspects of the Travel, Tourism and Hospitality Industries. Roraima Airways started out of the backroom of the Gouveia’s house, and has grown to one of the premier companies in the Caribbean to offer such a wide variety of services.

Airbus Delivers 2 New H225M Helicopters to France in 2025

Marignane, France – Airbus Helicopters has delivered two H225M helicopters to the French Armament General Directorate (DGA). These helicopters are the first of eight aircraft ordered in 2021. They will be operated by the French Air and Space Force, replacing Pumas currently in service overseas (French Guyana, Djibouti and New Caledonia) and will contribute to the harmonisation of the French Air and Space Force’s helicopter fleet. They will be used for operational missions, search and rescue and utility missions.

“The delivery of these two brand new H225Ms to the French Air and Space Force is very symbolic as France was the first operator of the H225M. They have proven on multiple occasions the benefit of this rotorcraft for combat, search and rescue, disaster management and medical evacuation missions,” said Bruno Even, CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “We are very proud that the French Air and Space Force has renewed their trust in the Caracal,” he added. “The French Air and Space Air Force will benefit from all the innovations that have been implemented on the H225M since the helicopter started operations in 2006 with the French armed forces, further expanding the capabilities of this unique aircraft.”

Like all newly built H225Ms, the eight new helicopters ordered by France in 2021 are equipped with state-of-the-art avionics. The French H225Ms, also nicknamed Caracal, are equipped with the Safran Euroflir 410 electro-optical system and the Sigma inertial navigation system.  New equipment also includes the Thales VUHF radio TRA6034 and IFF (Identification Friend or Foe) transponder TSC4000.

The H225M has proven its reliability and durability in combat conditions and crisis areas around the world. There are more than 350 H225s and H225Ms in service, totalling more than 880,000 flight hours. Military customers include France, Malaysia, Indonesia, Iraq, Thailand, Singapore, Mexico, the Netherlands, Kuwait, Brazil, and Hungary.
