The Piaggio proved popular in Australia despite its unconventional appearance and the relative obscurity of Piaggio in Australia. Affectionately called Pigs, 17 were imported including eight for the Ansett group. These were distributed to airlines in the group, with VH-MMP going to MacRobertson Miller Airlines. It became one of the Piaggios traded to Hawker de Havilland in 1969 on new Twin Otters. -MMP passed through a string of owners until 2002 when it was withdrawn from use, the final P.166 on the register. Now displayed at HARS at Wollongong.

VH-GOE in the bronze and white livery it wore when operated by Air Research, the company's name and logo removed but not what it did. It found further work in aerial survey into 1971 but by the end of that year was operating as a freighter. -GOE continued cargo until withdrawn from use in 1976. It was purchased in 1984 by the Papua New Guinea National Museum with a view to displaying it in its original Ansett-MAL livery. It may have since been scrapped without any work being done.

VH-BHK was registered in 1960 and used to supporting bauxite mining at Weipa, Queensland. It was withdrawn from use at Cairns, Queensland in December 1977. Approval was given to ferry it to Sydney in January 1978 for scrapping. Initially it went to Sydney's Kingsford-Smith Airport, possibly a weather diversion, before being ferried the short distance to Bankstown Airport where it joined a Piaggio graveyard with eight others. In 1984 the derelict -BHK was sold to a Brisbane collector, who trucked it back to Queensland. It ended up as an exhibit at the Queensland Air Museum at Caloundra
