Oklahoma-based Intercontinental Jet Service has been tapped as a Piaggio Aerospace-authorized service center, making it the first such facility added in North America since Baykar’s acquisition of the turboprop manufacturer in July.
The agreement builds on more than a decade of collaboration between the maintenance provider and the OEM, underscoring Piaggio Aerospace’s “commitment to a strong comeback in the U.S. market,” explained Intercontinental Jet.
Piaggio Aero Industries and Piaggio Aviation were acquired by Turkish aerospace firm Baykar last year, following a protracted restructuring ongoing since 2018. Throughout this period, Piaggio continued both its airframer and MRO roles, including developing the upgraded P.180 Avanti Evo turboprop twin.
“There is still significant potential in the P.180, and this is only the first step of many to enhance both the aircraft and the after-sales service,” said Piaggio Aerospace CEO Giovanni Tomassini. Intercontinental Jet noted that the new service center designation formalizes “a long-term partnership that signals a clear and strategic return to growth in the U.S. market.”
