The year 2004 will go down in
history as one in which many significant milestones were achieved
by Pilatus Aircraft. It happens to be the 10th anniversary of the
certification of the business aviation industry’s
market-leading PC-12 single engine turboprop.
Later this year Pilatus will deliver the 500th PC-12, and the
worldwide fleet is expected to surpass the 1,000,000 flight hour
mark. What’s even more impressive is that 10 years into its
production life, PC-12 sales continue on an upward climb. Pilatus
led all turbine business aircraft sales in 2003 by delivering 61
PC-12s to retail customers.
The company hopes to maintain its industry leadership status
again in 2004 with 70 worldwide PC-12 deliveries forecast. A recent
industry poll also indicates that Pilatus PC-12 customers remain
extremely happy with their aircraft throughout their ownership
experience. In the annual survey of Corporate Aircraft Product
Support conducted by Professional Pilot magazine, Pilatus PC-12
operators voted the company #1 in after-sale support for the third
straight year.
“While we’re extremely
pleased to see the successful fruition of our sales and support
strategies for the PC-12, we feel even more challenged to stay on
top,” said Thomas Bosshard, President and Chief Executive
Officer of Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd. “We are absolutely
dedicated to exceeding our customer’s expectations and are
fortunate to have a strong global sales and service network
dedicated to customer needs.” Established in 1939, Pilatus
Aircraft is the world's leading manufacturer of single-engine
turboprop aircraft.
