en.Wedoany.com Reported - FLN FRISIA-Luftverkehr GmbH Norddeich (Inselflieger) has taken delivery of its second Tecnam P2012 STOL aircraft. This acquisition follows directly from the outstanding operational success and passenger satisfaction achieved after receiving the first P2012 STOL in April 2025. Inselflieger, the largest aviation service provider in the region, transports approximately 70,000 passengers annually between the German mainland and the East Frisian Islands. The short runways at these island destinations demand exceptional STOL capabilities, and the P2012 STOL has proven to be an ideal, innovative, and modern response to this challenging environment.
When Inselflieger received its first P2012 STOL last year, the goal was to bring modern comfort, greater capacity, and enhanced safety to these vital regional routes. The aircraft not only met but exceeded expectations, integrating seamlessly into operations and demonstrating high reliability in demanding coastal weather conditions. Driven by this success, the airline is now doubling down on the Tecnam platform with this second delivery.
Bruno Warkentin, Inselflieger's Continuing Airworthiness Manager, commented: "When we received the first P2012 STOL, we noted that once integration was successful, the future potential was enormous. Today, we are fulfilling that promise. The P2012 STOL has proven to be an extremely robust, efficient, and passenger-friendly aircraft. Our pilots love the advanced avionics, and our customers immediately notice the new level of comfort and cabin space. Equally important, Tecnam has always taken us seriously as an operator, and we are impressed with the level of support they have provided throughout the project. Putting this second aircraft into operation is the natural next step in modernizing our fleet and ensuring the best possible service for the Frisian Islands."
Francesco Sferra, Sales and Business Development Manager for the Tecnam P2012 – Special Mission Platform, stated: "For an aircraft manufacturer, the greatest compliment is when an operator, after flying in extremely demanding operational and environmental conditions, confirms its choice and places a second order. Inselflieger operates in a uniquely challenging environment where dispatch reliability, short turnaround times, and short runway performance are absolutely critical. With the P2012 STOL, we not only guarantee mission completion from an operational perspective, but we also achieve these results for the end user in a more comfortable, modern, and safer way. We are very proud that the P2012 has excelled in all aspects and look forward to continuing to strengthen our close cooperation with the FLN team as they expand their modernized fleet."
The Tecnam P2012 STOL offers twin-engine reliability, a spacious nine-seat cabin with premium amenities, and the unique ability to operate on the world's shortest and most demanding commercial runways. The second P2012 STOL will enable Inselflieger to further optimize scheduling, modernize the island-hopping experience, and ensure consistent, comfortable travel for both islanders and tourists.
