Swiss Manufacturer Expands Presence in Southeast Asia with Government Contract
Pilatus has agreed to supply 12 PC-24 aircraft to Indonesia’s Ministry of Defense under a contract signed with PT E-System Solutions Indonesia. The agreement includes options for additional aircraft, ground support equipment, and training. The PC-24’s ability to operate from short airfields and unpaved runways may increase accessibility to remote islands in Indonesia. This marks the beginning of a long-term relationship between Pilatus and the Indonesian government, with a Letter of Intent signed for the supply of 24 PC-21 trainers. The contract was first reported by AeroTime.
