Pilatus Resumes U.S. Deliveries Despite Tariff Penalty
Company wants to keep U.S. facilities working at full capacity
Pilatus PC-24
Pilatus will continue delivering aircraft to the U.S. through the end of 2025.

After previously announcing a temporary halt to U.S. deliveries of its PC-12 single-engine turboprop and PC-24 twinjet in August, due to 39% tariffs imposed on Swiss products by the U.S. government, Pilatus has committed to resuming deliveries to U.S. customers. Earlier this week, Pilatus handed over the first PC-12 Pro for a U.S. customer.

A Pilatus spokesman told AIN, “For the time being, Pilatus will honor its contractual responsibilities towards its U.S. clients and dealers by ensuring deliveries to the USA until the end of 2025. PC-12 and PC-24 ferry flights to the USA have therefore resumed. Intensive discussions have been held with U.S. sales partners and end customers to seek transition solutions with regard to handling trade tariffs.”
