Pilatus Aircraft Sees Resilience in Business Aviation Market
Pilatus Aircraft Ltd reported a strong backlog of orders despite global health concerns and supply chain challenges. CEO Markus Bucher stated that sales of the PC-12 NGX and PC-24 continue to exceed projections. The PC-24’s unique features, such as its large cargo door and reconfigurable cabin, have been well-received by customers. The PC-12 NGX features the Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6E-67XP engine, which offers improved fuel efficiency and reduced operating costs. Pilatus’ commitment to sustainable aviation, including certification for sustainable alternative jet fuel, may also be a key factor in its success.
