As scheduled, Pilatus Aircraft opened the orderbook for the PC-24 twinjet yesterday at EBACE 2014 and all day long at the Pilatus booth chairman Oscar Schwenk and CEO Markus Bucher signed contracts with avid buyers. The first contract was inked by Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia, with an order for four PC-24s. U.S. fractional-share PC-12 operator PlaneSense placed an order for six PC-24s, and other buyers included Falcon Aviation Services of the UAE, with two; Luxembourg-based Jetfly, four; U-Haul International in the U.S., two; and many others. By four p.m., the live order board at the Pilatus booth (3646) listed orders for 75 PC-24s, of which some were clearly orders from dealers.

“It’s fantastic to be able to sign the first sales contracts for our new aircraft with such well-known operators,” said Schwenk. “I would like to express my very sincere thanks to our customers for their confidence in our company and in the PC-24.”
