Western Aircraft Delivers 300th PC-12, 30th New PC-24 and Marks 30 Years as Authorised Pilatus Centre
Why It MattersCumulative delivery counts like this show how a long-tenured authorised sales and service centre accumulates its standing through sustained turboprop and jet placements within a single manufacturer's network over decades.
What happened
Western Aircraft, an Authorised Pilatus Centre and Greenwich AeroGroup company, is marking three milestones in 2026. It has delivered its 300th PC-12, a PC-12 PRO, and its 30th new PC-24. The year is also its 30th anniversary as an Authorised Pilatus Sales & Service Centre.
The milestones were jointly acknowledged at a ceremony at the company's head office in Boise, Idaho, USA. The 300th new PC-12 carries serial number 3107.
Western Aircraft says that since the partnership began in 1996 it has become one of the most successful and experienced Authorised Pilatus Sales Centres. That description is the company's own.
Industry impact & what to watch
A count of 300 PC-12 deliveries alongside 30 new PC-24 deliveries shows how a Pilatus centre builds its standing over time: a single-engine turboprop line that sells in volume, followed by a newer light jet that adds to the tally. The turboprop count is ten times the jet count in absolute terms, which reflects how long each type has been available to place.
For a manufacturer that sells through an authorised network, a centre with three decades of continuity carries accumulated customer relationships and service experience. Those assets are hard for a newer dealer to replicate quickly, and they are the substance behind the company's claim of experience.
The next milestones to track are the delivery counts that follow these ones, and whether the PC-24 tally grows at a pace closer to the PC-12's as the jet matures in the market.
