On Friday, Western Aircraft became the first authorized Pilatus sales representative to sell its 200th new PC-12. In a ceremony at Western Aircraft’s headquarters in Boise, Idaho, vice president of aircraft sales and charter management Phil Winters accepted delivery of the 200th PC-12 that his company purchased from the manufacturer. Pilatus Aircraft CEO Markus Bucher was on hand for the delivery ceremony.
“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 expectations before, during and after the sale.”
Bucher added, “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 U.S.”
Western Aircraft has been an authorized PC-12 sales and service center since 1996. It also sells the PC-6 Porter and new PC-24 twinjet, the latter of which is scheduled to enter service next year.
