Tecnam took firm orders for 11 P2012 Traveller 11-seat utility aircraft during the first two days at the National Business Aviation Association’s annual convention in Las Vegas. South Africa-based Tamifield, a member of the AMRHO Group, ordered six of the new, high-wing twins with an option for 12 more. Charter Express, based in Colombia, ordered five of the Italian-made aircraft with an option for an additional five.

Italian airframer Tecnam has delivered the first P2012 Traveller to Seychelles-based charter company Zil Air, from a 2018 order for up to three of the high-wing piston-twins.

The aircraft and its three-strong crew arrived at Zil Air’s facility on the island of Mahe on 29 November following a six-day, 4,500nm (8,330km) ferry flight from Tecnam’s headquarters in Capua, near Naples.

Zil Air is it now preparing its Lycoming TEO-540-C1A-powered Traveller for service entry in December

The company is now working with Tecnam to develop a modular, quick-change air ambulance interior for its aircraft.

And about Cape Air

The Hyannis, Massachusetts-based regional airliner has taken delivery of four Travellers since the first example arrived in July and is preparing the aircraft for service entry before the end of the year. Cape Air has orders and options for 110 Travellers, which will replace its fleet of decades-old Cessna 402Cs.

“We plan to ship another four Travellers to Cape Air this month and 12 more examples in 2020,” says Tecnam’s global sales and marketing director, Walter da Costa.

"The delay can be attributed to the required validation of operational procedures and policies, typical for a newly certified aircraft," Lorino said.

Lorino said that Cape Air expects the Tecnam planes to start service in early March.

City officials told WGEM's newsgathering partners at the Herald-Whig that a software issue was to blame for the delay.

Quincy Regional Airport Director Sandra Shore told the Herald-Whig the software issue was a snag in the certification process and that certification delays are expected whenever an airline brings new aircraft into the market.

www.flightglobal.com/tecnam-sells-first-special-mission-configured-p2012-traveller/136719.article

Italian airframer Tecnam has sold the first P2012 Traveller in a special-mission configuration following an order for a single unit from with Austrian engineering and surveying company Airborne Hydro Mapping (AHM)

Delivery to the Innsbruck-headquarterd firm is scheduled for July, when the high-wing, piston-twin will join AHM’s P2006T for aerial surveying and mapping missions.

(...)
P2012 customers have largely been drawn to date from commercial operators, with US regional airline Cape Air the biggest client with an order for over 80 examples.

The Hyannis-based company is also the launch customer for the 11-seat aircraft, taking delivery of the first example in September 2019. “It has since added another three aircraft and four more P2012s will be handed over in February,” says Tecnam.

The company delivered eight P2012s in 2019s and plans to raise production at its Capua headquarters to 25 aircraft this year.

As of earlier this week, Cape Air had five P2012s on hand in New England, with three in revenue service. It expected another four to arrive from Italy within days, and to have 20 in the fleet by year-end.

Seems like it is in full service now.

Cape Air has become the first operator to begin revenue flights of the Tecnam P2012 Traveller, having dispatched the type on an inaugural commercial flight from its Hyannis base to Nantucket island on 22 February.

The Cape Cod, Massachusetts-based carrier, which is using P2012s to replace some 80 Cessna 402Cs, has since placed several P2012s into service as it evaluates the type’s performance. The aircraft have also operated Hyannis-Boston and Boston-Nantucket flights.

Too bad, hopefully for not too long.
paxex.aero/2020/08/cape-air-grounds-tecnam-p2012-fleet/

Cape Air’s fleet of Tecnam P2012 Traveller aircraft is grounded. The “temporary and voluntary” measure comes as regulators on both sides of the Atlantic need to discus potential issues related to modifications of the elevator trim control system. The agencies are expected to meet as early as Tuesday.

(...)
The company is careful to note that the suspension of operations is “not due to a technical or mechanical issue.” The conversation between the FAA and EASA, however, is tied to changes to the mechanical operation of the aircraft.

This is not the first time Cape Air chose to halt operations while troubleshooting its aircraft. In 2007 the carrier grounded its (much larger) fleet of Cessna 402s after multiple in-flight engine failures. The company inspected the crankshaft counterweight across all the planes and returned them to service without the FAA mandating the work.

This week’s issues with the elevator trim is no the first trouble for the type. Cape Air is the launch customer for the P2012, with 100 on order to replace its aging Cessna 402 fleet. The first P2012 aircraft entered scheduled service in March 2020. That timing was several months later than initially planned, owing to software issues in the certification process.

The carrier also quietly halted operations of the Tecnam fleet from mid-July. It resumed those flights last week in Boston, St. Louis and Chicago. After a few of the planes flew for a few days, however, they are now grounded again.

www.flyingmag.com/story/aircraft/tecnam-p2012-vaccine-transport/

Tecnam has partnered with ultra-freezer manufacturer Desmon to retrofit the P2012 Traveller for COVID-19 vaccination transportation, into a new version dubbed the Travelcare. The P2012 was deemed a good platform for transportation of the critical materials to remote locations in Europe and around the world.

A special ultra-freezer designed by Desmon can maintain product temperatures at minus 86 degrees Celsius during transport, and at minus 65 degrees Celsius for beween 10 to 12 hours after the unit is unplugged. The Travelcare platform is expected to reduce distribution cost per dose to as little as $0.005. The modified P2012 can carry as many as 115,000 doses to areas with less than 1,850 feet of paved runway available, according to Tecnam.
