Republic of San Marino · T7 registry
It isn’t a jet. That’s the point.
Sky Prime flies and manages the Piaggio P.180 Avanti from the Republic of San Marino — 402 knots at 41,000 feet, a stand-up cabin no light jet can match, and roughly a third less to run than the aircraft it keeps pace with.

What we do
One aircraft type. Three ways to fly it.
We are an operator, not a broker. The crews, the maintenance programme and the aircraft on the ramp are ours — which is why we can answer for every hour we sell.
Executive charter across Europe and the Mediterranean
Point-to-point flights for up to seven passengers, quoted all-in and crewed by two pilots as standard. Short runways, small fields and city airports the airlines have given up on. Explore charter
OwnershipAircraft management and T7 registration
We take the aircraft onto our certificate, run its crews, maintenance and compliance, and offset the fixed cost with charter revenue when you are not flying. For owners
MissionsMedEvac, government and special missions
A stand-up cabin, a large door and a loading ramp at the same height inside as out. A VIP interior converts to a stretcher layout in under two hours. Mission capability
Why this aircraft
Three towers on the mountain. Three wings on the aeroplane.
San Marino is known for the three towers along the ridge of Monte Titano. We fly the only business aircraft in the world that carries three lifting surfaces instead of two — and every one of them is doing work.
Piaggio calls it 3LS — three lifting surfaces. Laminar flow from nose to tail lifts performance by roughly 34% over a conventional layout of the same size.
The fleet
Piaggio P.180 Avanti
Jet speed, turboprop economics, and a runway requirement short enough to reach the airport you actually wanted.
The cabin
Stand up. Then sit down and get some work done.
Five foot nine of cabin height and six foot one of width — a full foot taller than the King Air 350i, and more space per seat than anything else in the class. Poltrona Frau leather, a full refreshment centre and a proper enclosed lavatory as standard.

| Cabin length | 4.55 m 14.92 ft |
| Baggage volume | 1.00 m³ 35 cu ft |

Reach
Where a morning gets you from San Marino.
Block times from our base at Rimini–Federico Fellini, non-stop, at typical payload. Everything on this list is a same-day return.
Indicative block times including taxi, climb and descent. Actual times depend on winds, routing, payload and slot availability. Longer sectors may require a technical stop.

| Piaggio Avanti EVO | 100 · 2,110 |
| King Air 350i | 136 · 2,870 |
| Phenom 300 | 183 · 3,862 |

Efficiency
The cheapest hour in the sky is the one you burn least fuel in.
The Avanti burns about 100 gallons an hour. A Phenom 300 covering the same sector burns nearly twice that, a Citation X almost four times. Because fuel is the largest variable in any charter quote, the difference lands directly on your invoice — and on the carbon figure your finance team has to report.
- Around 30% lower direct operating cost than a jet of the same size
- Roughly half the CO&sub2; per hour of a comparable light jet
- Five-blade scimitar propellers cut cabin noise by 20% over the Avanti II
- Sustainable aviation fuel accepted wherever it is available on our network
For owners
Your aircraft, on our certificate, under T7.
San Marino runs one of the most respected small registries in business aviation: ICAO-compliant, OECD white-listed, and pragmatic about who may maintain your aeroplane.
- Registration marks of three to five characters — personalised, out of sequence, no extra fee
- EASA, FAA, UAE GCAA and Singapore CAAS maintenance organisations accepted without separate approval
- Import-tax exemption for aircraft owned by foreign persons or companies, and no insurance tax
- Charter revenue against your fixed costs whenever the aircraft would otherwise sit
Special missions
When the runway is short and the clock is the problem.
The same qualities that make the Avanti a good executive aircraft — short-field performance, a tall cabin and a low door sill — make it an unusually capable medical and government platform.
Air ambulance & MedEvac
A VIP layout converts to a stretcher configuration in under two hours. The optional enlarged door and loading ramp put the stretcher at the same height inside as out — no lifting, no tilting.
Mission profiles
Government & agency transport
Discreet movement of officials and delegations between small fields, on an ICAO-compliant certificate with a documented security and crew-vetting programme.
Capability
Time-critical logistics
Aircraft-on-ground parts, transplant teams, laboratory samples and press pools — anything where the value of the payload is measured in hours rather than kilos.

Booking a flight
Four steps, and the first one takes a minute.
A charter is a sequence, so we run it as one. You will know who is flying you and what it costs before you commit to anything.
- Step 01
Tell us the mission
Route, dates, how many people and how much luggage. If the airport you want is unusual, say so — short and semi-prepared runways are where this aircraft earns its keep.
- Step 02
Get an all-in quote within the hour
One number covering aircraft, crew, fuel, landing and handling fees, catering and taxes. No line items that appear after you have signed.
- Step 03
Confirm and receive your trip sheet
Aircraft registration, crew names, FBO, slot times and a direct mobile number for the duty operations officer. Catering and ground transport arranged with it.
- Step 04
Arrive 15 minutes before departure
Private terminal, no queue, straight to the aircraft. On the way home, the same — we hold the departure for you rather than the other way round.
Request a quote
Tell us where and when.
The operations desk answers every request within 60 minutes, day or night. If your trip is departing in under six hours, call instead — it is faster.
