Piaggio Aerospace delivers a new Avanti EVO airplane

To a North American customer; first aircraft equipped with EVS

Piaggio Aerospace has just delivered a new P-180 Avanti EVO airplane, the iconic turboprop produced by the Italian firm in Villanova d’Albenga (Savona, Liguria Region) and Genoa, to a young businessman from Missouri (USA).

The aircraft has an 8-passenger VIP configuration and sports a custom grey and blue livery co-designed with the customer. It also features a significant technological innovation: it is the first Avanti EVO equipped with an Enhanced Vision System (EVS), designed to improve pilots’ vision at night and in low-visibility conditions. This system comprises a high-resolution digital camera integrated with infrared technology, providing real-time information to the pilot and co-pilot’s multifunction display.

Eleven other Avanti EVOs are currently in production at Piaggio Aerospace’s factory in Villanova d’Albenga.

For Europe’s airports, communities and economy

Importantly, there is no tangible evidence that the EU Qatar agreement has resulted in Qatar Airways gaining a dominant or unfair market position at the expense of European airlines. In fact, Qatar Airways has not expanded significantly in the European market in recent years –as evidenced by the fact that the airline’s seat capacity deployed in Europe in the current IATA Winter season (October 2025–March 2026) remains -10% below its pre-pandemic (2019) level more
