Aviation News – Swiss aircraft manufacturer Pilatus has suspended deliveries of its business jets to the United States, citing increased import tariffs. The move comes after U.S. trade authorities imposed higher duties on certain European goods, impacting the Swiss aviation sector.
Pilatus, known for its PC-24 and PC-12 models, stated that the tariffs undermine competitiveness in the crucial U.S. market, its largest for private aircraft. The company is now reviewing alternative strategies to mitigate losses. Industry experts warn the halt could disrupt supply chains and delay orders, as tensions over trade policy continue between Washington and European aviation manufacturers.
