Aviation News – Western Aircraft has marked three major corporate milestones in 2026, celebrating its 30th anniversary as an Authorized Pilatus Sales and Service Center alongside the delivery of its 300th PC-12 and 30th PC-24 aircraft.
The momentous achievements were officially recognized during a special joint ceremony held at the company’s head office in Boise, Idaho, USA. Since their partnership commenced in 1996, Western Aircraft has expanded into one of the most successful and experienced authorized sales centers in the global network, securing its position as the first to achieve this extraordinary combination of milestones.
The delivery of the 300th new PC-12, identified as serial number 3107, highlights three decades of continuous commercial and operational growth. Alongside this turboprop milestone, the simultaneous handover of the 30th PC-24 reinforces the strong regional demand for the aircraft. First added to the product lineup in 2018, the world’s first Super Versatile Jet has rapidly established itself as a premier option among customers throughout the company’s designated sales territory.
These advanced aircraft deliver critical operational flexibility, combining the rugged utility and short-field capabilities required by regional operators with modern avionics and enhanced passenger comfort. The enduring popularity of both the PC-12 and PC-24 underscores how critical versatile, high-performance aviation platforms remain for executive travel, cargo transport, and regional connectivity across the United States.
While direct quotes are omitted from the commemorative event records, executive leadership historically attributes this sustained success to unwavering dedication, strong OEM collaboration, and a relentless commitment to exceptional maintenance and customer support.
Looking forward, this triple milestone sets a high benchmark for regional aerospace operations as customer demand for flexible, multi-role aircraft continues to accelerate. The company aims to leverage this established momentum to expand its service footprint, support growing regional fleets, and maintain its industry leadership well into the next decade.
