The Tecnam Travellers, manufactured in Italy, bring industry-leading reliability and versatility. These aircraft offer flexible interior configurations, allowing quick conversions for freight transport or stretcher accommodation. Each aircraft is equipped with two engines and flown by two pilots, ensuring a high level of safety. With only nine seats per aircraft, passengers bypass TSA security procedures, enjoying a streamlined travel experience. Advanced avionics further enhance safety and efficiency. 

PACI is committed to sustainability. The Tecnam Traveller is certified to operate on G100UL Aviation Gasoline, a lead-free fuel. Combined with the Traveller’s Electronic Engine Control, these aircraft achieve unmatched fuel efficiency and environmental friendliness in their class. 

“We are proud to introduce a fleet that embodies our dedication to safety, reliability, and exceptional customer service,” said Ashley. “Our environmentally friendly aircraft are ready to meet your interisland travel needs, whether for business, leisure, or health-related purposes.”
