Press Release

Issued by Pilatus Aircraft.

November 26, 2007

At its meeting on 20 November 2007, the Board of Directors of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd decided to approve the following Management Board personnel changes. The changes are due to retirement of the current job holders and take effect as of 1 January 2008.

Fredy Glarner of Buochs (NW) was voted the new Head of Manufacturing. Mr Glarner has been with Pilatus for 27 years, during which time he has worked on a wide variety of projects. After significant involvement in the development of the PC-12, he made a substantial and recent contribution to the success of the PC-21 programme as part of the project management team.

The Board of Directors also voted Markus Bucher of Ballwil (LU) the new Head of Aircraft Assembly. Mr Bucher has held various managerial posts since 1986. Over the past ten years he has very successfully built up and expanded our customer support service in the Government Aviation Business. Customer support orders now generate a large slice of total Government Business revenues.

Pilatus is delighted that both these senior managerial posts have been filled from within its own ranks. Both candidates are Pilatus employees of many years, with a proven track record. The Pilatus Board of Directors would like to wish both men every success and much satisfaction in their new functions.
