Strategic Implications

Pilatus’s successful financial year in 2016 may indicate a strong foundation for future growth. The company’s focus on diversifying its product portfolio and expanding into new markets could benefit from the PC-24 development programme, which is proceeding according to plan. However, the stagnating sales figures in the business aircraft market may pose a challenge for Pilatus and other manufacturers.
