9 March 2020 – In order to complete and renew its fleet of training aircraft, Aero Locarno has selected Sonaca 200 following a comparative study. As per the agreement Aero Locarno will buy 5 "Sonaca 200" aircraft.
"The Sonaca 200 clearly stands out from the crowd!" said Stefano Buratti, Aero Locarno CEO. "With its aluminum structure, the Sonaca 200 is a robust and easy-to-repair trainer aircraft. Stable and agile, the aircraft proved to be easy to fly even in turbulent conditions. The Sonaca 200 is a spacious and comfortable aircraft with optimal visibility on board. We have found our new aircraft for basic training!"
"We are convinced that the Sonaca 200 has its rightful place in Switzerland" said Pierre Van Wetter, Chief Commercial Officer of Sonaca Aircraft "The engine and high rates of climb are particularly well suited to mountain flying, regardless of the aircraft's payload."
An accredited training organization, Aero Locarno is a member of the Swiss Flight School Association, Swiss PSA.
