Europe – Tecnam has appointed Avora Aviation as its official dealer for the Balkan region, covering Bulgaria, Croatia, Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Kosovo, North Macedonia, Albania, and Montenegro, with Avora planning to develop a dedicated aircraft leasing product around the Tecnam range to address the fleet renewal financing barrier facing regional flight schools.

The dealership covers Tecnam's full training and general aviation lineup including the P92 Echo MKII, P2002 Sierra MKII, P2008JC NG, P-Mentor, P2010 series, and twin-engine P2006T NG, serving flight schools, private owners, and commercial operators across nine Balkan nations.
Avora will develop a dedicated leasing product centred on the Tecnam range, pairing training-proven aircraft with flexible financing to enable flight schools within the territory to renew their fleets with modern aircraft without prohibitive upfront purchase costs — directly addressing what Avora identifies as the single biggest barrier to fleet modernisation for regional training organisations.
Avora Aviation currently operates seven Tecnam aircraft within its own fleet, supporting Avora Aviation Academy — an EASA-approved ATO based in Sofia, Bulgaria, certified in early 2026 — which delivers pilot training within a vertically integrated aviation ecosystem alongside Fly2Sky (a Bulgarian AOC-holding ACMI and charter airline operating A320/A321 fleet) and MX Technic (EASA Part-145 maintenance organisation).
The vertically integrated structure provides Avora Aviation Academy cadets with a direct pipeline from training fleet to airline flight deck with Fly2Sky, creating a controlled, quality-first pilot development pathway within a single group.
Avora Aviation is headquartered in Dubai, operating as an aircraft leasing, trading, and asset management company managing a portfolio of 13 aircraft on behalf of 40+ partners and clients, with the Tecnam dealership representing its expansion from narrowbody commercial leasing into general aviation.

Statements

"Being appointed Tecnam's dealer for the Balkans is a significant step in broadening Avora's reach beyond commercial leasing and trading into general aviation. A central part of that vision is access to capital: the single biggest barrier to fleet renewal for flight schools is the upfront cost of modern aircraft. To address this, we will develop a dedicated leasing product around the Tecnam range — pairing trusted aircraft with flexible financing so training organisations across the region can renew their fleets without the burden of outright purchase," said Alim Lakhiyalov, CEO of Avora Aviation.
"We are thrilled to welcome Avora Aviation to the Tecnam family as our official dealer for the Balkan region. Their innovative approach to aircraft leasing, combined with their vertically integrated aviation group and airline-backed training academy, makes them an ideal partner," said Giovanni Pascale Langer, Managing Director at Tecnam.
