Spanish Flight School Marks 10th Anniversary with Euro 4 Million Tecnam Fleet Expansion

Spain – EAS Barcelona is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a major fleet expansion valued at over Euro 4 million.

• EAS Barcelona has committed to acquiring six Tecnam P2006T NG twin‑engine trainers, significantly enhancing multi‑engine training capability for Integrated ATPL students.

• The academy will also add two Tecnam P‑Mentor aircraft to its single‑engine training fleet, following an order placed in late 2025.

• With these additions, EAS Barcelona now operates the largest Tecnam training fleet in Spain, exceeding 30 aircraft with an average fleet age of less than four years.

• The new aircraft will progressively enter service starting mid‑2026, supporting both foundational and advanced pilot training stages.

• Equipped with Rotax 912iSc3 engines, the P2006T NG and P‑Mentor offer roughly 20 % lower fuel consumption per flight hour, advancing EAS Barcelona’s commitment to sustainability in flight training.

• “We are incredibly proud that EAS Barcelona has chosen Tecnam once again to mark such a significant milestone as their 10th anniversary. This substantial investment in the P2006T NG and P-Mentor confirms that our fleet solution is the preferred choice for top-tier ATOs. It is an honor to support EAS Barcelona in delivering airline-oriented, sustainable, and technologically advanced training to the next generation of pilots,” said Walter Da Costa, Chief Sales Officer at Tecnam.
