Pilatus Aircraft handed over its first PC-24 to a South American customer and marked its 40th delivery of the twinjet model at a ceremony yesterday at its Broomfield, Colorado facility. Ignacio del Rio will operate his new PC-24 from his base in Santiago, Chile, where he also keeps a PC-12 NG turboprop single. “We are very pleased that Ignacio is staying within the Pilatus family with both his PC-12 NG and now his new PC-24 jet,” said Thomas Bosshard, the president and CEO of U.S. subsidiary Pilatus Business Aircraft Ltd.
