The French Navy plans to take delivery of three Pilatus PC-24 aircraft under lease from Jet Aviation in 2026.

Jet Aviation has purchased three Pilatus PC-24s to lease to the French Navy under a contract from the Direction de la Maintenance Aéronautique (DMAé). The contract also calls for ongoing comprehensive support, including onsite line and base maintenance and continuation of airworthiness management (CAMO) services to ensure operational readiness and mission success.

To be delivered in 2026, the French Navy will use the light twinjets for pilot training, including to ensure the ability to fly with and without visibility, as well as the transport of urgent cargo. Jet Aviation president Jeremie Caillet added that the contract builds on its longstanding relationship with Pilatus, as well as its 35-year history of working with government fleets.
