JetSwiss Aviation celebrates decade of Pilatus sales
After a fun flight in a small plane piloted by a family friend, Don Peterson fell in love with Pilatus aircraft and set up JetSwiss to create a singular pre-owned business model and manage every aspect of Pilatus ownership.
Kansas-based JetSwiss Aviation has reached 10 years of pre-owned Pilatus aircraft sales and ownership.

JetSwiss Aviation, an authority in pre-owned Pilatus aircraft sales and ownership based in Overland Park, Kansas, is proud to have reached its 10 year anniversary.

“It all started with a casual flight in a small plane, piloted by a family friend,” says founder Don ‘Bub’ Peterson. “Seeing the Pilatus firsthand ignited a lifelong passion for these incredible machines and ultimately led to the creation of JetSwiss.”

The company’s journey has been fuelled by unwavering dedication to clients and a relentless pursuit of perfection in every aspect of Pilatus ownership. Peterson, inspired by Swiss culture and his experience in the Pilatus programme, recognised the importance of precision, reliability and meticulous attention to detail. He applied these principles to create a pre-owned aircraft business model unlike any other.

Over the past decade, JetSwiss has established itself as a trusted partner for hundreds of private clients and high net worth individuals seeking to navigate the complexities of aircraft ownership. With a hyper-focus on the Pilatus PC-12, the company leverages its extensive knowledge of the aircraft's history and performance to deliver exceptional value and peace of mind to its clients.

“Our business model is deeply rooted in the Swiss culture of precision, reliability and attention to detail,” Peterson adds. “We've spent countless hours refining our processes to minimise risks and maximise rewards for our clients. This commitment has resulted in a remarkable 65 per cent repeat and referral business, a testament to our unwavering dedication to customer satisfaction.”

JetSwiss claims its proprietary reports for buying and selling Pilatus aircraft are taking industry standards to a new level. The company's expertise has also made it a key player in the global pre-owned Pilatus market, with involvement in over 20 per cent of worldwide transactions.

“We've built our reputation on transparency, integrity and unparalleled service,” Peterson says. “Our clients trust us to guide them through every step of the aircraft ownership journey. Whether it's acquiring their first Pilatus or expanding their fleet, we are committed to exceeding their expectations.”
