  • PlaneSense is the launch customer for the Pilatus PC-24, with this being the first of six jets they will receive.
  • The PC-24 is lauded as a "Super Versatile Jet" due to its ability to operate on short and unimproved runways and its unique large aft cargo door.
  • Delivery of the first PC-24 is expected later this year, following FAA and EASA certifications.

George Antoniadis wouldn’t have missed this “marriage” for anything in the world. The President and CEO of PlaneSense has the distinction of being the owner of the first Pilatus PC-24 (https://www.pilatus-aircraft.com/) business jet, and so he made the journey to the manufacturer’s head office in Stans, Switzerland, to watch firsthand as his plane received its wings.
