Pilatus Aircraft reported a mixed performance in 2025, with sales and orders increasing despite supply chain disruptions and trade tariffs affecting its US operations. The company cited disrupted supply chains, delivery stoppages, and tariff volatility as challenges.
The United States has reached new trade agreements with Switzerland and South Korea, eliminating tariffs on aircraft and parts. This restores tariff-free access for manufacturers and operators in both countries, following similar zero-tariff arrangements with the European Union, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom.
Pilatus has acquired Skytech Inc., a US-based aircraft sales and services company, to be fully integrated into its new subsidiary, Pilatus Aircraft USA. The move is expected to strengthen Pilatus' global brand and expand its presence in the US market.
Pilatus has delivered its PC-12 NGX to Dirceu Julio Gatto, a Brazilian entrepreneur and agricultural producer. The aircraft was handed over by Synerjet's sales manager, Alexandre Morais, on Gatto's property in Minas Gerais, Brazil.
