Tecnam Appoints Altair Solutions as Aftermarket Services Partner
Tecnam names Altair Solutions its official partner for maintenance, training, and certified pre-owned aircraft sales at Capua Aerospace Hub.
Italian aircraft manufacturers Costruzioni Aeronautiche TECNAM S.p.A. (Tecnam) has appointed Altair Solutions as its official partner for maintenance, training, and certified pre-owned aircraft sales. The strategic agreement, announced on June 18, 2026, shifts aftermarket lifecycle support to the newly formed independent aviation services company, allowing the manufacturer to concentrate exclusively on aircraft design and production.
According to a press release issued by Tecnam, the partnership is anchored at the Capua Aerospace Hub (LIAU) in Italy. The move represents a structural separation of Tecnam’s core manufacturing business from its customer support operations, aiming to provide dedicated global service to Tecnam owners and operators.
Strategic separation of manufacturing and support
Tecnam CEO Paolo Pascale Langer stated that customer support holds equal importance to the aircraft themselves. By establishing Altair Solutions as a dedicated entity, Tecnam intends to deliver specialized expertise and responsiveness while maintaining its focus on manufacturing excellence and innovation.
Altair Solutions is led by CEO Giovanni Pascale Langer. The new company will manage the global Tecnam community’s aftermarket needs. Giovanni Pascale Langer noted that Altair was founded on the customer-centric values developed alongside Tecnam over decades, with a primary responsibility to ensure continuity and trust for operators worldwide.
“While our roots are firmly anchored in Capua and within the Tecnam ecosystem, our mindset is global. Through the relationships and expertise we have built over decades, we are committed to supporting customers wherever they operate,” Giovanni Pascale Langer said.
Expansion at the Capua Aerospace Hub
The operational base for Altair Solutions is the Capua Aerospace Hub, which recently underwent significant infrastructure upgrades. The facility now features a 1,420-metre (4,659-foot) concrete runway and more than 17,000 square metres of dedicated operational space.
Altair Solutions plans to utilize this expanded footprint to develop premium Fixed Base Operator (FBO) services. The company aims to position the Capua facility as a strategic gateway for general and business aviation in the Mediterranean region.
Giovanni Pascale Langer indicated that the airport’s transformation provides the foundation to expand capabilities across the wider general aviation sector. This planned expansion includes servicing turboprop and business jet operators beyond the immediate Tecnam ecosystem.
AirPro News analysis
The decision to spin off aftermarket services into a distinct entity reflects a maturing business model for Tecnam. As general aviation manufacturers scale their global fleets, the demands of maintenance, training, and pre-owned sales often compete for resources with core engineering and production lines. By establishing a dedicated partner led by a member of the Pascale family, Tecnam secures brand continuity while theoretically improving service agility. We view the concurrent development of the Capua Aerospace Hub as a signal that Altair intends to build a diversified revenue stream through FBO services and third-party maintenance, reducing its long-term reliance solely on the Tecnam fleet.
