The Piaggio Avanti EVO in service
The Avanti EVO's pusher-propeller layout gives it jet-like cruise speed with turboprop fuel burn, and a cabin taller than several light jets. Production has ceased, but the fleet remains active, mostly in Europe.
It suits short Mediterranean and Alpine-adjacent legs. Our Piaggio Avanti profile page covers the configuration we arrange.
Missions the type is used for
- Fast short-haul legs at turboprop operating cost
- Regional business travel in Europe and the Mediterranean
Route examples that suit its legs
- Rome to Nice
- Milan to Geneva
- Athens to Mykonos
Where these figures come from
All figures above are the manufacturer's published maximum values and vary by serial number, interior configuration and operating conditions. Source: https://www.piaggioaerospace.it/en. MEGA does not manufacture or represent any airframer; aircraft are arranged through registered third-party operators and availability is confirmed per aircraft and per date.
How the twin pusher turboprop class flies
Turboprops earn their place on short sectors and awkward airfields rather than on speed. They climb quickly to a useful altitude, burn markedly less fuel per hour than a jet of similar cabin size, and can work runways that are short, unpaved or high — which on regional work often means landing closer to the destination than a jet could.
The trade-offs are honest ones: cruise speeds sit well below jet figures, so any sector beyond roughly two hours starts to feel long, and cabins are narrower with less baggage volume. On legs under about 600 nautical miles the door-to-door difference against a light jet is usually smaller than the numbers suggest, because taxi, climb and descent dominate the trip.

Chartering the Piaggio Avanti EVO
Availability is the deciding factor on any specific type. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is arranged through registered third-party operators, so whether one can be placed on your trip depends on where an aircraft of that type is positioned, the crew's duty time, and whether the operator's approvals cover the airports and airspace involved. Where the type is not free, the desk offers the closest equivalent in the same class rather than holding a trip open.
Positioning, airport slots, handling, overnight crew costs and any de-icing or curfew constraints are priced into the quote rather than added afterwards, and every figure is confirmed against the actual aircraft and date before it is issued. We publish no rate for any type here, because an honest number depends on the aircraft, the routing and the day.
Frequently asked questions
How many passengers does the Piaggio Avanti EVO carry?
Typical charter seating is 6 to 7. The exact figure depends on the individual aircraft's interior, since operators configure cabins differently, and on baggage — a full cabin with heavy luggage can change what the aircraft can lift out of a given runway.
How far can the Piaggio Avanti EVO fly?
The published maximum range is 1,470 nm published, quoted by the manufacturer under ideal conditions with a defined payload. Real sector capability is shorter once passengers, baggage, winds, temperature and reserve fuel are applied, so the operations desk checks each leg against the specific aircraft rather than the brochure figure.
Is the Piaggio Avanti EVO still in production?
Production status: Out of production — still flying. Status matters for parts support, cabin technology and resale, and it is stated here so no one quotes or budgets against a type that has not entered service or is no longer built.
Does MEGA operate the Piaggio Avanti EVO?
No. MEGA arranges flights on aircraft operated by licensed third-party operators holding their own air operator certificates. Safety ratings such as ARGUS, IS-BAO or Wyvern are held by the relevant operator and applicability varies by aircraft and operator.
