Piaggio Aerospace focuses on the P.180 Avanti Evo

The Ligurian company, one of the players in the world of business aviation, returns to participate in the Nbaa-Bace in Las Vegas, the airshow that every year brings together the world protagonists of the sector and where it exhibits its iconic turboprop aircraft

Three months after its acquisition by the Turkish company Baykar, Piaggio Aerospace announces its return to the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (BACE), scheduled to take place in Las Vegas from 14 to 16 October. The company is among the more than 800 exhibitors participating in the world's most important event dedicated to business aviation.

The event, organized between the Las Vegas Convention Center and Henderson Executive Airport (KHND), offers industry professionals a full program of meetings, technology presentations and networking moments. The airport space will also host "Aircraft Connection", a static exhibition reserved for 14 and 15 October, which allows visitors to explore the most innovative aircraft up close and to dialogue directly with manufacturers and operators.

Among the more than 40 aircraft present, Piaggio Aerospace exhibits an Avanti EVO from Florida. An iconic turboprop and symbol of Italian technological excellence, the Avanti EVO represents a milestone in the evolution of modern aviation, thanks to its distinctive three-load-bearing surface design, high performance and operational versatility. The aircraft is available to visitors, operators and potential customers, offering a direct experience with one of the most recognizable models in the international aviation scene.

The high efficiency of the P.180 Avanti EVO is combined with a spacious and comfortable cabin, designed to offer maximum versatility: a real office in the skies, complete with broadband and satellite connectivity, or a refined and elegant environment where you can relax and enjoy the journey.

The aircraft can accommodate up to seven passengers, in addition to the two pilots, ensuring comfort and privacy on board. With a range of 3,185 km (1,720 nautical miles), the Avanti EVO is perfect for continental routes and business trips, but also for more exclusive destinations: thanks to its ability to land on short or semi-prepared runways, it can reach peripheral and minor airports not served by scheduled flights, offering flexibility and freedom of movement.
