Oriens Aviation, Pilatus' sales representative for the UK, has launched its authorised Pilatus service centre Oriens Maintenance Services, at London Biggin Hill airport.

London Biggin Hill airport marketing manager Andy Patsalides comments: “The PC-12 has become a game changer for air charter following the EASA regulation update last year. Pilatus customers have made an insightful choice with this speedy and economic aircraft.

“We are delighted Oriens Aviation has chosen to bring its sales, customer support and maintenance services under one roof here. We are firmly established as the preferred base for many MRO operators and other aviation businesses in the UK.”

Edwin Brenninkmeyer, founder and CEO of Oriens Aviation, adds: “We are very proud to be offering a one-stop shop for the PC-12 and our expansion at London Biggin Hill reinforces our commitment to the best-selling single engine turboprop.”
