French Navy Takes Delivery of First of Three PC-24s
Aircraft delivered through contract with Jet Aviation
Pilatus PC-24
Jet Aviation celebrated the first delivery of the Pilatus PC-24 to a European military service outside of Switzerland.

The French navy took delivery of the first of three Pilatus PC-24s from Jet Aviation, the FBO/MRO company announced today. Jet Aviation France and the Direction de la Maintenance Aéronautique (DMAé) inked a contract late last year covering aircraft acquisition, leasing, and ongoing support of the aircraft tailored to the French navy’s operational requirements. Included with the support are onsite dedicated teams to provide maintenance and continuous airworthiness management.

Marine Nationale, the navy's formal designation, will use the PC-24s for pilot training, including instrument flight training, and periodic proficiency checks. In addition, the aircraft will transport urgent cargo. Delivery of the remaining aircraft will follow in subsequent phases.
