The high wing and large glazed cabin make it a favourite for observation, survey, training and touring, while fixed gear keeps maintenance simple.

Frequently Asked Questions — Partenavia

What is Partenavia and what aircraft did they produce?

Partenavia was an Italian aircraft manufacturer that produced the P68 twin-piston utility aircraft, now manufactured and supported by Vulcanair. The P68 is a high-wing six-seater with twin piston engines, known for benign handling and remarkably low fuel consumption for a twin — comparable to many single-engine six-cylinder aircraft. The Observer variant serves surveillance and law enforcement roles.

Are Partenavia P68 parts still available?

Yes — Vulcanair acquired Partenavia's designs and continues to produce and support the P68 series from Italy. Parts availability is good through Vulcanair's support network. The P68 remains in active production as the Vulcanair P68C. Used Partenavia-era P68s are well-supported and mechanically similar to current production aircraft. For buyers of older Partenavia-built examples, Vulcanair is the direct factory support contact.
