Avtrak and Piaggio Aero Sign Maintenance Tracking Agreement

Denver, Colorado May 1, 2009 - Avtrak LLC and Piaggio Aero Industries S.p.A have signed a multi-year agreement recognizing Avtrak GlobalNet as one of the preferred factory authorized maintenance tracking services for Piaggio P-180 Avanti aircraft.
