Piaggio Aerospace, a leading Italian aircraft manufacturer active in the business, defense and security sectors, is exhibiting the Avanti EVO, its flagship product in business aviation; at ACE 2017 in London Bigging Hill Airport.  

The Avanti EVO is the third generation of the legendary P.180 offering superior climb performance, huge fuel savings, lower emissions and the biggest stand-up cabin in class.  

A special showcase event of the Avanti EVO will take place on Wednesday September 13, 2017 at London Biggin Hill Airport, Hangar 510,  in partnership with ConnectJets, Piaggio Aerospace’s exclusive sales agent for the UK and Channel Islands.

This aircraft grants a revolutionary way of travelling, combining luxury and speed with environmental care and cost saving, that Piaggio Aerospace is committed to promote globally and in the UK, where we are supported by the most excellent partner.”
