The Italian light piston twin Partenavia P68 was developed by Partenavia Costruzioni Aeronautiche. This twin-engine airplane made its first flight in 1970 and then entered serial production. It is suited to short hops such as Miami–Nassau, Fort Lauderdale–Key West or Naples–Tampa.
Charter a Partenavia P68 private jet:
The Partenavia P68 has good maneuverability, an elongated fuselage, and a powerful Avco Lycoming IO-360-A1B6 engine. All this significantly affected the flight performance and demand for the model. However, it was also used for various purposes due to its increased flight altitude and improved payload. Vulcanair, based in Casoria, near Naples, has purchased the certificates as well as the original production plant and now produces the P68C, P.68C-TC, P.68R, P.68TC Observer, P.68 Observer 2, and AP68TP-600 Viator aircraft types.
The cabin of the Partenavia P68 was relatively compact and well equipped for leisure or work. It was designed to meet the essential individual needs of private aviation customers.
On charter the P68 is a short-range aircraft for up to five passengers with light luggage: island hops across the Bahamas, Florida intrastate flights, and aerial survey or photography work, where its high wing and large windows are an advantage. It is unpressurized and cruises around 170 knots, so for anything beyond two hours or above the weather a King Air or PC-12 is the better fit.
