European Flyers, a Spanish aviation training center, has purchased 12 Tecnam P2010 TDI aircraft for more than 7 million euros. The deal was signed at the AERO Friedrichshafen trade fair in Germany.
The acquisition will expand the school’s fleet, equipping students with modern aircraft that meet current airline standards and improve operational efficiency. The Tecnam P2010 TDI features a Continental CD-170 diesel engine, which runs on Jet-A1 fuel and consumes about 5.2 US gallons per hour. This setup provides a range of up to 1,000 nautical miles, a cruise speed over 140 knots at 10,000 feet, and a service ceiling of 18,000 feet from a 63-gallon fuel tank.
The four-seat, high-wing monoplane includes Garmin G1000 NXi avionics with autopilot, three passenger doors, and a baggage door for added practicality. Its liquid-cooled, turbocharged 170-horsepower engine uses FADEC for automatic fuel-air mixture control, enhancing reliability and reducing emissions.
Individual P2010 TDI units have sold for prices around 412,000 to 545,000 dollars or euros, depending on configuration and condition.
