Aviation News – Piaggio Aerospace has landed its first order for the Avanti NX, with a European operator purchasing two aircraft at AERO Friedrichshafen 2026, marking an important milestone for the program.
The announcement was made on April 23, 2026, during the aviation exhibition in Germany. The undisclosed European customer will acquire two Avanti NX aircraft configured for executive business use, while also incorporating stretcher modules for medical evacuation missions.
