About Piaggio Aircraft Company
Piaggio Aerospace builds one of the most distinctive aircraft flying — the **P.180 Avanti**, a pusher twin-turboprop whose three-surface configuration and rear-mounted pusher props give it near-jet speed (~400 kt) with turboprop fuel economy and a large stand-up cabin. Instantly recognisable and genuinely fast, the Avanti (and the later Avanti II and Avanti EVO) occupies a unique niche: turboprop operating costs with light-jet speed and a cabin bigger than many jets. There are currently 4 used Piaggio aircraft for sale.

Frequently Asked Questions — Piaggio
Is the Piaggio P180 Avanti worth buying?
The Avanti occupies a unique niche — a twin-turboprop pusher that cruises at 400 knots, faster than many light jets, while burning 40% less fuel. The cabin rivals midsize jets for space and quietness thanks to rear-mounted PT6A-66B engines. Only 129 Avanti IIs were built, with 121 still operating. The Avanti EVO (2014+) is the latest variant. Stunning performance and design, but ownership requires deep pockets.
How much does a Piaggio Avanti cost to operate?
Acquisition costs are moderate for the performance delivered, but operating costs are significant — maintenance on the unique three-surface design and pusher configuration requires specialized knowledge. Parts availability is limited given the small fleet. Piaggio's financial difficulties over the years have raised concerns about long-term factory support. Buyers should verify current maintenance support arrangements before purchasing.
Piaggio Avanti vs King Air 350 vs Pilatus PC-12?
The Avanti is dramatically faster (400 vs 310 knots for King Air 350) with better fuel economy. The King Air 350 carries more passengers (9 vs 7-9) and has a massive global support network. The PC-12 is a single-engine aircraft in a different class entirely. For speed-focused operators who can manage the specialized maintenance, the Avanti delivers performance no other turboprop can match.
