Source measurement	—	The Tecnam P2012 Traveller is a twin-engine, shoulder-wing utility aircraft designed and manufactured by the Italian company Costruzioni Aeronautiche Tecnam , based in Capua , Italy , near Naples . Certified under EASA CS-23 and FAA FAR Part 23 , the aircraft is configured to carry up to nine passengers and one or two pilots, and is designed for commuter, charter, air taxi, cargo, medevac, and surveillance operations.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Lead; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage On 1 April 2016, the first completed prototype was rolled out. It conducted its maiden flight on 21 July 2016. By April 2017, the first prototype was flown more than 100 hours while the second was set to join during September, targeting a December 2018 certification. The nearly production standard second prototype seats up to nine passengers and conducted its first flight on 22 December 2017; by then the first prototype had flown more than 250 hours.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage By August 2018, certification was on track for the year end with 400 hours flown, while the backlog attained 130 and three aircraft were in production. In October 2018, testing was completed after 500 flight hours between the two prototypes. After 600 hours flown by the two prototypes, European type certification was awarded on 20 December 2018, including in icing conditions ; approval from the US authority was expected to follow shortly.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage In the following years, Tecnam expanded the P2012 family with several new variants. The P2012 STOL variant was publicly introduced in 2022 and received EASA certification in March 2024. This version, equipped with 375 hp Continental GTSIO-520-S engines and extended wings, was designed for operations on short and unprepared airstrips.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Development; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Tecnam planned to build 15 aircraft during 2019; increasing to 25 in 2020 and to 35 during 2021.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Development / Market; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Kenai Aviation, based in Alaska , added its first P2012 in 2022 and a third aircraft in April 2024. The operator cited the P2012’s reliability, short-field performance, and low operating cost as ideal for challenging Alaskan routes, having flown nearly 30,000 passengers and 29,000 lb of cargo within two years.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Development / Market; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage St. Barth Executive, based in the French Caribbean , became the launch customer and first operator to introduce the P2012 STOL into revenue service. The first passenger flight was conducted on 1 August 2024, connecting Pointe-à-Pitre ( Guadeloupe ) and Saint-Barthélemy , a route previously accessible only by sea. Operated under the Air Inter Iles brand, the service began with three daily flights, rising to six in high season. The STOL variant is particularly suited to the challenging conditions of Saint-Barthélemy’s short runway (646 meters) and steep approach. St. Barth Executive planned to operate three P2012 STOL aircraft to serve regional island routes and improve inter-island connectivity in the French Caribbean.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Development / Market; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The Traveller is a twin piston-engined aircraft, powered by a pair of Lycoming TEO540 C1As, each producing 375 hp (280 kW), which give the type a maximum permissible speed (VNE) of 226 kn (419 km/h). In June 2023 the option of fitting twin 375 hp (280 kW) Continental GTSIO-520-S engines was added by Tecnam with a maximum permissible speed (VNE) of 228 kn (422 km/h). While the Lycoming engines use full authority digital engine control ( FADEC ) and a four-blade propeller, the Continental variant offers a more traditional throttle-propeller-mixture setup with three-blade propellers. The design complies with FAR Part 23 and EASA CS-23 regulations.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage Performance characteristics vary by configuration.

The STOL variant, designed for operations on short and unprepared runways, has a maximum range of 1,100 nautical miles (2,037 km) and an endurance of up to 12 hours. The STOL variant is capable of taking off in 315 meters (1,033 ft) and landing in 225 meters (738 ft) at maximum landing weight.^[source]Tecnam P2012 Traveller · Design; only the objects and conditions stated in this passage The cabin accommodates up to nine passengers in a standard commuter configuration, with individual seats arranged in a single-aisle layout.
