Italian aircraft builder Tecnam said its P2012 Traveller and the number A00076CE are forever linked thanks to the FAA. That’s the full certification number the agency assigned the airplane last week when they gave the machine the final U.S. green light. Tecnam is now on track to begin delivering airplanes around the globe, beginning with the first 20 of the one hundred P2012 commuter-airline Travellers eagerly awaited by Cape Air in Hyannis, Massachusetts. Those first few P2012s will soon make the trip from Capua, Italy, to Cape Air’s base.
