Piaggio Aerospace will return to NBAA-BACE this October, bringing its flagship P.180 Avanti EVO to one of the most important gatherings of the global business aviation community while also highlighting the future of the Avanti programme through the development of the Avanti NX. The NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition will provide Piaggio Aerospace with an opportunity to showcase the Avanti EVO's unique blend of performance, efficiency, cabin comfort and Italian design to operators, owners and aviation professionals from around the world.

This year's event carries special significance as Piaggio Aerospace marks 40 years since the first flight of the P.180. Over four decades, the aircraft has established a distinctive position in the business aviation market, combining high-speed performance, fuel efficiency and a spacious cabin within its innovative three-lifting-surface configuration.

Beyond celebrating the success of the current Avanti EVO, Piaggio Aerospace is also looking firmly toward the future. The company continues to advance the Avanti NX programme, a next-generation evolution of the iconic aircraft designed to build on the strengths of the P.180 platform while introducing new technologies, enhanced efficiency and an even more refined ownership and passenger experience. The Avanti NX reflects Piaggio Aerospace's long-term commitment to innovation and its confidence in the continued relevance of the Avanti concept in the modern business aviation landscape.

Alongside the main exhibition at the Las Vegas Convention Center, visitors will be able to view the P.180 Avanti EVO at NBAA's Aircraft Connection static display at nearby Henderson Executive Airport. The aircraft will be among more than 30 business aviation aircraft on display, offering attendees an opportunity to experience first-hand the aerodynamic design, spacious cabin and distinctive features that have defined the Avanti family for four decades.

Piaggio Aerospace's presence at NBAA-BACE comes at a pivotal time as demand for the P.180 continues to grow and the company expands production capabilities to support both current operators and the next chapter of the programme. With the Avanti EVO in service and the Avanti NX progressing toward the future, Piaggio Aerospace arrives in Las Vegas with a clear message: the Avanti story is far from over.

Visitors can meet the Piaggio Aerospace team at Booth AC22 during the Aircraft Connection event at Henderson Executive Airport, explore the aircraft up close and learn more about both the Avanti EVO and the forthcoming Avanti NX. Demonstration flights can also be arranged, allowing prospective customers to experience the aircraft's exceptional performance, efficiency and remarkably quiet cabin in flight.
