Cape Air orders P2012 Traveller

US regional airline Cape Air confirmed the order of ten TECNAM P2012 Traveller aircraft, that will be delivered this year, joining the twenty Travellers already in the airline’s fleet.

Cape Air, Tecnam Aircraft’s launch customer, has also optioned ten P2012 Travellers of the 2022 production line and ten of 2023, as they have a target of 100 aircraft to replace its legacy aircraft fleet.

The Tecnam P2012 features a sleek, modern design with state-of-the-art equipment; a new-generation, piston-powered, twin-engine, fixed landing gear, aircraft with interchangeable configuration. Comfortably accommodating nine passengers with one or two crew, the introduction into the Cape Air’s fleet provides customers with higher class experiences, such as air-conditioning, in-seat power, business class leg room under-seat storage space and all-weather capabilities.

Now in its 32nd year, Cape Air is one of the largest commuter airlines in the United States, serving 38 cities in the US and the Caribbean. The employee-owned company, based in Hyannis (MA) has grown from three flights a day between Provincetown and Boston in 1989, to a fleet of 100 aircraft, more than 400 flights a day, and flying over 500,000 passengers annually.
