In a ceremony at Western Aircraft headquarters in Boise, Idaho, Phil Winters, Vice President of Aircraft Sales and Charter Management, accepted delivery of the 200th PC-12 aircraft purchased from the manufacturer. On hand for the ceremony was Pilatus Aircraft Ltd Chief Executive Officer Markus Bucher.

“This is an exciting milestone for our team at Western Aircraft,” said Winters. “We have all worked hard to ensure that our clients’ Pilatus ownership experience meets their ‘Pilatus Class’ expectations before, during and after the sale.”

Bucher stated, “All of us at Pilatus wish to thank the sales and service teams at Western Aircraft for their significant contributions in making Pilatus the first choice in business aircraft in the northwestern United States. Our partnership of more than 20 years gets stronger each year, and we will continue to build, deliver, and service outstanding Pilatus aircraft together for many years to come.”
