Capua, Italy / Oslo, Norway – Tecnam Aircraft has announced that OSM Aviation Academy (OSMAA) has signed a Letter of Intent (LOI) for the acquisition of 25 fully equipped, IFR-certified Tecnam P-Mentor aircraft, with options for an additional five units.
The agreement is set to expand the Academy’s training fleet, ensuring that future pilots have access to advanced, efficient, and IFR-capable aircraft. The Tecnam P-Mentor will support OSMAA’s operations across Europe and facilitate the Academy’s planned expansion into the United States, where demand for modern, sustainable flight training platforms is growing.
The P-Mentor is Tecnam’s latest two-seat IFR trainer, fully EASA-certified for IFR and PBN operations. Combining advanced avionics, low fuel consumption, and high safety standards, the aircraft is designed to meet all current EASA requirements, making it a standout choice for contemporary flight training.
“We are excited to strengthen our partnership with Tecnam as we continue to scale our training operations,” said Martin Floor, CEO of OSM Aviation Academy. “The P-Mentor’s efficiency, safety, and IFR capabilities make it the perfect aircraft for training the next generation of Airline Ready® pilots.”
The new order reflects rising demand for OSM Aviation Academy’s Airline Ready® cadet program and underscores the Academy’s strategic ambitions. “This aircraft order forms part of a broader group strategy to establish a strong presence in the United States to support OSM’s flight training operations, while creating a platform for further expansion across both the U.S. and European markets,” added Hans Kyrre Hultgren, Executive Director of OSM Aviation Academy.
