BySky Business Airlines is launching as the first business aviation operator in Belarus and has invested in two Pilatus PC-12 NGs courtesy of Russia and CIS sales agent Nesterov Aviation. “Safety was the main reason for our choice and we also took into consideration the proven experience of Pilatus Aircraft,” explains marketing manager Evgeny Plekhnevich. “It is a very reliable and famous Swiss manufacturer. The model itself is the most popular turboprop business aircraft. It has a comfortable cabin and good cargo capacity and it is equipped with modern Honeywell Primus Apex avionics. Moreover, it can be operated in small airports and on rough and short landing strips, which adds flexibility to every mission.”

Plekhnevich says that the company plans to fly all over Europe and Russia, and he has also had a look at the upcoming PC-24: “We've heard a lot about the PC-24 business jet. It is a great and impressive model. For now it is optimal to fly with the PC-12, but we are considering other jets for the future.”
