Training Aircraft Manufacturer Tecnam Announces US Flight School Partnership with 50 Aircraft on Order
Sebring, FL USA – Tecnam announced a partnership with Buiqui Aerospace, one of the most prestigious flight schools in the USA, with multiple bases in the US and Puerto Rico and strategic partnerships with major airlines and aviation universities.
The announcement of the partnership also coincides with the delivery of two (2) P2006T, one (1) P2010 Lycoming IO-360, one (1) P2010 TDI Gran Lusso and one (1) P-Mentor. The remaining aircraft will be delivered in batches within the second quarter of 2025.
With this acquisition, Buiqui Aerospace will fully transition to a modern and ultimate fleet of Tecnam trainers, allowing more students to begin and complete their training, creating exponential value for Buiqui Aerospace. Flying a Tecnam will give students access to state of the art aircraft, providing them with an enhanced experience throughout their flight training and easing their transition into the cockpit of a commercial aircraft.
Buiqui Aerospace has also been appointed as a Tecnam Authorised Service Centre as its technicians have successfully completed mechanical training at Tecnam’s base in Sebring, Florida.
Oliver Buitron, Buiqui Aerospace Founder and Chief Executive Officer said: “We’re very excited about this partnership with one of the leading companies in the aviation space. TECNAM vision aligns with ours in paving the way by providing the best of the best. The acquisition of these planes will provide a more enhanced experience for all our students, mechanics and staff. It will enrich the flight training experience for current and prospective students. The addition of the 50 Tecnam aircraft to our fleet will allow our students to have more preparation as they continue their pathway to our partners such as Frontier Airlines, Mountain Air Cargo and Commute Air. Our team is looking to be a Tecnam only fleet by 2025, so today will be a massive step towards that goal.”
“We are deeply honored that Buiqui Aerospace has chosen Tecnam to fully replace their existing fleet with our aircraft. This decision underscores the trust and confidence Buiqui Aerospace has in Tecnam’s innovation, performance, and commitment to delivering high-quality solutions for the aviation industry. This partnership marks a significant milestone for both companies, and we are proud to join forces with such a forward-thinking and dynamic organization. Together, we are not only expanding their fleet but also supporting Buiqui Aerospace’s vision for growth, modernization, and excellence in aviation. Tecnam is excited to be part of this journey and looks forward to a long-lasting collaboration that will benefit both companies and the aviation community at large,” said Tecnam’s Managing Director, Giovanni Pascale Langer.
Walter Da Costa, TECNAM’s Chief Sales Officer added: “Solera Bank played a pivotal role in this transaction, aligning closely with Tecnam’s vision and principles. Both organizations are committed to supporting flight schools in fully transitioning to a new era of aircraft, ensuring superior outcomes for pilot cadets, mechanics, and company shareholders alike. This partnership delivers a comprehensive solution that meets the needs of 21st-century businesses.”
About Buiqui Aerospace
The name of the school comes from the combination of the surnames of its founders “Buitron Quijano”, three brothers from Quito (Ecuador) who decided to open an aviation school in the United States. It all began as a family flying club in North Perry, Miami, which in 2018 would transform from a flying club to an aviation school with its main headquarters in the city of Kissimmee, state of Florida; Shortly thereafter, the vision of these three young brothers, became a reality and soon the flight school was fully operational. With more than 350 national and international graduate students, alliances with more than 10 airlines and financial institutions, six locations within the United States and three more in Puerto Rico, Buiqui Aerospace has become a renowned school that continues to open its doors to aspiring pilots, operating under Part 61.

Spanish Flight School To More than Double Fleet Size With Latest Purchase of 15 Aircraft
Italy headquartered training aircraft manufacturer Tecnam and Aerodynamics Academy have announced the purchase of fifteen (15) Tecnam P2008JC MkII by the flight school.
Headquartered in Malaga, Spain, Aerodynamics Academy is a recognised Approved Training Organisation (ATO) and Flight Training Organisation (FTO) and is one of the fastest growing flight schools in Europe with 200 students in 2024.
The acquisition of the Tecnam P2008 JC aircraft enhances Aerodynamics Academy’s training capabilities and provides students with access to modern, efficient and reliable aircraft that meet industry standards. This move reinforces Aerodynamic Academy’s position as a leading aviation training institution in Europe, providing students with world-class resources for their pilot training journey.
About the P2008JC MkII
The versatility and ease of use of the Tecnam P2008JC has made it the aircraft of choice for modern flight training organisations worldwide.
With its carbon fibre fuselage, metal wings and tailplane, the Tecnam P2008JC has many advantages over traditional aircraft. This combination of composites and metal has resulted in a more fuel efficient and much quieter aircraft.
The Tecnam P2008JC MkII version features a number of significant enhancements. These include a new avionics suite, including a redesigned instrument panel and glare shield, allowing the introduction of Garmin’s innovative G3X Touch display with MD302 attitude instrument, also available in VFR Night.
“We are incredibly excited to partner with Aerodinamics and contribute to their growth and fleet innovation.” said Walter Da Costa, Tecnam Chief Sales Officer.
“Aerodynamics Academy acquires 15 new Tecnam P2008 JC models to expand a fleet of over 30 aircraft and 5 high-generation simulators, solidifying its position as one of Europe’s most promising pilot training schools.” – Juan Manuel Martín. CEO of Aerodynamics Academy.
Tradition, innovation and vision.

Flight schools using Tecnam’s single and twin engine fleet can save up to 10 tonnes of CO2 emissions for each student who completes a Commercial Pilot Licence – a 60% reduction compared to a fleet using 100LL fuel across 155 flight hours, including 30 hours in a twin (www.Tecnam.com/soar-greener).
