AMAC Aerospace, a leading provider of corporate aviation maintenance and completion services has been appointed by Pilatus as the exclusive Sales Distributor for the all-new PC-24 light jet in the Middle East. The new appointment, formally signed on October 30th extends AMACs existing exclusive agreement with Pilatus as a fully Authorised Service Centre and Sales Distributor for the PC-12NG in the region which it has held since 2012. <\/p>\n
AMAC also confirms that it will acquire two PC-24 aircraft, which are due for delivery in the fourth quarter of 2019. The new jet is scheduled to receive EASA Certification in 2017. The two flagship aircraft will be delivered with an executive interior and will be used for demonstrator purposes to support its sales efforts in the region. <\/p>\n
AMAC Aerospace will market the PC-24 in Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Yemen, Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, Qatar, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and Turkey. All maintenance services for the new PC-24 will be coordinated through the AMAC Aerospace facility at Ataturk Airport, Istanbul. The twin engine PC-24 will offer Middle Eastern customers the practicality of a turboprop with the performance of a light jet. Its short field performance with the capability to land on grass strips or unpaved surfaces makes its highly mobile and suitable to the region. It can fulfil multi-role missions too from accommodating up to 10 passengers in executive comfort to serving as an air ambulance or special mission role - attributes which will appeal to certain Middle Eastern customers. Making it even more appealing is its attractive price point - US8.9 million. <\/p>\n
