Cape Air announced the deployment of its Tecnam P2012 Traveller aircraft to its Caribbean network, with operations beginning this month. The Hyannis, Massachusetts-based airline has been utilizing this aircraft model in the U.S. Northeast and Montana since 2019 and was a key partner in its development, alongside Lycoming engines and Garmin avionics.

An airline spokesperson told AirlineGeeks that the newer aircraft will be spread across various routes in the Caribbean.

Linda Markham, Cape Air president and CEO, stated, “We are excited to introduce the Tecnam P2012 Traveller to our Caribbean network, offering our passengers a modern, stylish, and highly capable twin-engine aircraft perfect for connecting smaller communities.”

She added, “We are confident that this innovative aircraft will provide an exceptional flying experience for the passengers and communities we serve. We look forward to seeing the Traveller enhance our service throughout the Caribbean.”

The aircraft is equipped with Garmin G1000 Nxi avionics and powered by two 375 HP Lycoming piston engines. Passenger amenities include air conditioning, USB ports, armrests, cup holders, fresh air outlets, and increased legroom.

Founded in 1989, Cape Air serves 31 cities in the U.S. and the Caribbean. The airline has grown from operating three daily flights between Provincetown and Boston to managing a fleet of 98 aircraft, conducting over 300 flights per day, and serving approximately 400,000 passengers annually.
