Tecnam and UFLY VI, LLC are pleased to announce the delivery of a Tecnam P2012 Traveller to the UFLY VI Caribbean fleet. UFLY VI is a passionate company that has been in business since 2019, offering both flight training and charter/air tours in the US Virgin Islands. UFLY VI Flight School also operates a P92 Echo MkII.

The P2012’s multi-mission capability exceeds the needs of UFLY VI’s operations in the Virgin Islands and will provide local air tours as well as charter and on-demand flights. The Traveller’s high wing design, single seats with large windows, and aircraft comfort are ideal for enjoying the Caribbean scenery during local air tours, while the twin engine configuration enhances mission safety on charter flights.

The Traveller, which comfortably seats nine passengers with one or two crew, is a new generation, turbocharged, twin-engine, high wing, fixed wing aircraft. The addition to the UFLY VI fleet provides customers with cost-effective and diverse configuration options while delivering the experience that discerning travelers expect, such as dual air conditioning, premium interiors, in-seat power, superior legroom and under-seat stowage.

“We are extremely excited to introduce the P92 Echo and the P2012 Traveller aircraft models to the USVI’s aviation community. These new additions showcase Tecnam’s unwavering commitment to innovation, performance, and customer satisfaction,” said Mr. Matthew Stewart, CEO of UFLY VI, LLC –“The P2012 redefines regional air transport with its versatility, spaciousness, and outstanding reliability.

“The P2012 Traveller selection heightens UFLY VI aircraft portfolio, with an aircraft specifically designed to accomplish its mission in the Caribbean inter islands environment. Whether for a local Air Tour, a Charter mission, or employed in one of the Traveller multi-mission capabilities, the twin engine configuration is “ a must to have” and Tecnam is delighted to partner such a solution and to partner with Matthew and the UFLY VI team. We definitely share the same passion and vision for what aviation will be in this century”. Said Francesco Sferra, Tecnam P2012 & Special Mission Platform Sales and Business Development Manager.
