Piaggio Aerospace post-Baykar acquisition launched Avanti NX modernization plan incl. new avionics and cabin upgrade; received launch order at Aero Friedrichshafen, but specific configuration still under market research; expected 2029–2030 rollout. Meanwhile, Avi-Go data shows January–May 2026 P.180 Avanti in Italy, France, Spain, Greece four countries business jet movements 1,603 — YoY −4.1% (vs. 2025 same period 1,672). Departure side −4.3%, arrival side −4.0% — declines consistent — reflecting the type's activity moderate contraction in Southern European core market — may relate to fleet aging and PC-12/TBM series competitive replacement. During NX upgrade's 3–4 year window, in-service fleet attrition risk warrants attention. Confidence ★★★ (KG product event + Avi-Go data dual cross-verification).
