Training Aircraft Manufacturer Appoints Business Development Director for North America

France, Europe based Aircraft Manufacturer Elixir Aircraft has appointed Mike Tonkin as its new Business Development Director for North America. Mr. Tonkin was previous Global Business Development Director at one of the leading simulator manufacturers – France based ALSIM.

About Elixir Aircraft
Elixir Aircraft, a company based in La Rochelle with 54 employees, was created in 2015 to meet the challenges of French light aviation. The objective of the French SME: to produce safer, more economical and more versatile aircraft. Complexity is currently the reason why these aircraft suffer from failures (technical or human) and are expensive to operate (consumption and maintenance). Elixir Aircraft employs a technology derived from competition sailing, the Carbon Oneshot, to simplify the structures. More simplicity means fewer failures, therefore more safety, but also less maintenance, and less cost (estimates of 40€/hour of fuel and maintenance). In 2022, Elixir Aircraft will open a new production site in order to internalise the entire production of carbon parts.

European Flight School Announces Fleet Expansion with New Tecnam Aircraft

Spain based Quality Fly announced fleet expansion with the addition of a new Tecnam Aircraft P2008 MKII to its fleet. The flight school explained the following important elements of such incorporation:

“First of all, it is the biggest pleasure to continue expanding our fleet, as it means our effort is valued by the students who continue to give us their trust and recommend our school to their colleagues.

Secondly, it is an aircraft with remarkable features, as it combines carbon-fibre fuselage and metal wings, with a highly efficient BRP-Rotax GmbH & Co KG 912 motor, which allows a) fuel consumption of up to 50% lower vs older models, b) the usage of unleaded fuel vs old flight training aircraft allowing only leaded fuel and c) beyond taking care of the environment, it allows to be more resilient to oil price increases. Have you heard about school passing price increases to their students due to fuel price increase? They are likely still having an old generation high consumption fleet.

Thirdly, it is an aircraft with a glass cockpit including the most advanced avionics system with Garmin G3X touch screen. This facilitates the transition into todays modern highly automatised airline aircraft.

Fourthly, it is one more piece of our standardized fleet, including all glass cockpit Tecnam aircraft, facilitating the progress through the training program.

Finally, it is an owned aircraft like all the fleet of our school, not rented. That does not make any difference from an education point of view, but reflects the solidity of the project, and for those in the industry that remind some school going bust leaving students stranded, it gives an additional trust factor to the students when choosing their school.”
