The 2023 financial year was a great success for Pilatus. Despite a still challenging period, 148 aircraft were delivered thanks to unbroken high demand. With sales of 1,478 billion Swiss francs, an EBIT of 240 million Swiss francs and orders received of 1,513 billion Swiss francs, Pilatus closed the past year with a top result. Compared to the already very successful 2022, Pilatus achieved a ten percent increase in sales and a six percent higher operating result. The total number of aircraft delivered is also impressive: a total of 47 PC-24s and 101 PC-12s were handed over to customers last year. In the Government Aviation division, Pilatus was able to book a follow-up order: the renowned Spanish Air Force has decided to purchase 16 more PC-21s. In May, the 2000th PC-12 was also delivered to long-standing customer PlaneSense - and in October, Pilatus celebrated the launch of the new PC-24, which has a significantly higher payload and range. In addition to these highlights, which have shaped the past year, Pilatus also had to contend with some turbulence: the ongoing problems with the supply chains and supply bottlenecks have had a negative impact on production. Hansueli Loosli, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Pilatus, assesses the past year very positively overall: "We invested a lot in 2023: in products, employees, growth, infrastructure, digitization - and all of this with a constant focus on the needs of our customers." Markus Bucher, CEO of Pilatus, adds: "The results are impressive and lay the foundation for a promising, successful and sustainable future."
