Piaggio Aero has announced that its P.180 Avanti II aircraft has received both type and production certificates, from the Russian aviation authority, the Interstate Aviation Committee (IAC). The IAC type-certificate confirms that the design of the aircraft complies with Russian regulations, having previously gained both EASA/FAA certification in 2005. The Avanti II can now be legally registered and operated throughout the Russian Federation.
“We are really happy to have achieved Russian certification for the P.180 Avanti II aircraft on schedule, after the launch of our product into the Russian Market last year. This now opens the way for our first aircraft deliveries in the Russian Federation,” said Alberto Galassi, Piaggio Aero CEO. “Piaggio Aero is fully committed to making quality products available around the world and, the Russian Federation represents a high potential market for the P.180 Avanti II in both its executive and also special mission versions”.
