The Tecnam P2012 Traveller is an eleven-seat utility aircraft designed and manufactured by the Italian company Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam, based in Capua, Italy, near Naples.[3]
In 2009, Cape Air, a commuter airline based in Massachusetts, asked Tecnam for a new aircraft meeting their needs.[4] The project was publicly revealed in April 2011.[5] In November 2015, Cape Air signed a letter of intent to order 100 aircraft.[6] On 21 July 2016, the first prototype performed its maiden flight.[1] In October 2018, testing had been completed,[7] and type certification from European Aviation Safety Agency was received during December 2018.[8] The first customer delivery occurred during March 2019.[9] American Federal Aviation Administration certification was awarded in August 2019,[10] and Cape Air received its first two aircraft via transatlantic ferry flight in October 2019.[11]
It is Tecnam's first commercial aircraft and, after its introduction as a commuter airliner, it could be used for VIP, cargo, parachuting and medevac.[5] The company can produce up to 40 aircraft per year.[12] Tecnam forecasts a demand for 11,500 short-haul commuter aircraft between 2018 and 2028.[7]
