Boutsen ends 2022 on a high with sale of 415th aircraft
With the sale of two PC-24s under its belt, Boutsen has high hopes for more to come in 2023.

Monaco-based business jet transaction specialist Boutsen Aviation is celebrating not one but two sales, bringing its total number of transactions to 415.

The sales team is certainly flying high this year, having enjoyed a successful 2022 that is ending on a particularly high note with the sale of two Pilatus PC-24s.

President Dominique Trinquet says: “Switzerland is a country in the heart of Europe, a neighbour of France and is known among other things for its excellency in aeronautical production. For the second time in the history of Boutsen Aviation, we are proud to have achieved another transaction with the Swiss Government. It reminds me of our first transaction in 2013, which was orchestrated like a Swiss Army knife. We have repeated this great experience with its mint condition Pilatus PC-24. Thanks to the whole team at Amasuisse.

“Our industry is very active at the moment, particularly in Europe, despite the challenging global events we are currently experiencing.”

This transaction was the third since sales manager Western Europe Margaux Bodard arrived in Monaco earlier this year. Her first sale was a Falcon 7X, quickly followed by a Gulfstream G650 and now the PC-24. “It definitely bodes well for 2023,” she says.

“I am extremely proud of the whole Boutsen Aviation team, they have achieved fantastic results this year. We are looking forward to raising a glass together to toast the company's success and to plan for what we hope will be an equally rewarding 2023,” says founder and chairman Thierry Boutsen.
