Tecnam and US Aviation Academy have announced the expansion of the Academy's training fleet with the acquisition of 38 new aircraft. The fleet will include the Tecnam P2010, powered by the Lycoming IO-360, and the P2006T MKII, powered by the Rotax 912S3. Deliveries will take place from now until the first quarter of 2026, with an option to purchase an additional 52 aircraft in 2026 and 2027. This investment reflects the academy's commitment to providing efficient and cost-effective flight training while supporting various pilot training contracts.

Founded in 2006, US Aviation Academy has developed into a world-class aviation training centre, offering professional pilot, aircraft technician and aircraft dispatcher training. The academy has established pathways to major airlines, including Delta, United and Southwest Airlines.
