Western surpasses $2 billion in aircraft sales
Western Aircraft credits its success to long-standing relationships with Pilatus and Piper, with both new and pre-owned aircraft sales driving growth.
Phil Winters, vice president of aircraft sales and charter management for Western Aircraft, celebrated the company's achievement.

Western Aircraft reached a milestone in late December, surpassing $2 billion in total aircraft sales. While other aircraft types contributed to the figures, the majority of sales were for Pilatus and Piper products, both new and pre-owned.

The achievement underscored the company’s continued success since becoming a Pilatus dealer in 1996. “All of us at Pilatus Aircraft are proud of the Western Aircraft sales team's achievement of this major milestone,” says Tom Aniello, vice president of marketing for Pilatus Business Aircraft. “Since joining the Pilatus authorised sales and service network in 1996, Western Aircraft has perennially been one of the top dealers in the world for PC-12 and PC-24 business aircraft. It has established strong relationships supporting our mutual customers and does an outstanding job representing the high standards of the Pilatus brand in the northwestern United States.”

In addition to its success with Pilatus, Western Aircraft’s authorised sales and service centre for Piper Aircraft also played a major role in the company’s growth. “We are thrilled for Western Aircraft as it achieves this incredible sales milestone,” says Ron Gunnarson, vice president of sales, marketing and customer support for Piper Aircraft. “As Piper's authorised Piper dealer and service provider in the northwest United States, Western truly embraces an unwavering commitment in delivering exceptional quality, service and customer experience.”

“This milestone is a testament to the dedication and expertise of our entire team at Western Aircraft,” adds Phil Winters, vice president of aircraft sales and charter management for Western Aircraft. “We are grateful to our customers for their trust and loyalty over the years. Our commitment remains focused on delivering exceptional service and ensuring that every buyer enjoys an outstanding ownership journey, from the initial purchase to years of operation.”
