Pilatus Aircraft last week handed over the 1,800
th PC-12 turboprop single, just three months after delivering its 100
th PC-24 twinjet. The milestone PC-12 NGX, S/N 2070, was delivered to Alán Aguirre, owner of Divine Flavor, a family-run and grower-owned distribution company based in Nogales, Arizona, with greenhouses and vineyards throughout Mexico.
Adrian Zambrano—managing director of Pilatus Center de México, the authorized Pilatus sales and service center in Mexico—handed over the keys to the PC-12 NGX to Aguirre at the Pilatus completions and delivery center in Broomfield, Colorado. “The PC-12 program continues to exceed all expectations originally set for it by Pilatus,” Pilatus Business Aircraft CEO Thomas Bosshard said at the delivery ceremony. “The market response to the PC-12 NGX has been fantastic.”
