Pilatus Aircraft Ltd appoints Tronrud Aviation as official PC-12 Sales and Service Centre in the Nordic region of Europe, responsible for activities in Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland.

Tronrud Aviation is a subsidiary of Tronrud Engineering AS, which was founded in 1977 by Ola Tronrud. The company specialises in manufacturing parts and machines in the field of engineering.

“Putting ideas into practice” is its slogan, with the company now employing over 170 people in Norway and Singapore. Located around 30 miles northwest of Oslo and based on its own airfield at Eggemoen, the business site is very accessible. Stretching across over 600 acres, the Eggemoen Aviation and Technology Park surrounds the airfield and is home to companies working in the fields of aviation and engineering.

“We are very pleased to be working with Tronrud Aviation to serve the Nordic countries. The excellent reputation, well-trained staff and years of experience make Tronrud Aviation a perfect partner,” says Fred Muggli, Head of PC-12 Sales & Marketing at Pilatus.

Ola Tronrud CEO of Tronrud Aviation says: “The PC-12 NG is ideal for the Nordic countries. The aircraft can reach even remote places with short runways. A durable construction with its large cabin and practical cargo door provides the ideal solution for transporting people and goods. In short, with the PC-12, Pilatus has created a plane which offers great performance with low operating costs and a well-designed and well-equipped cockpit. We look forward to working together with Pilatus.”
