Dassault Lugano becomes Pilatus line maintenance centre
PC-12 and PC-24 customers now enjoy even faster and more flexible access to line maintenance and services, and benefit from even better support for their Pilatus aircraft, all based out of Lugano airport in Ticino.
The service centre will keep the Swiss aircraft in the air.

Pilatus has accredited Dassault Aviation Business Services at Lugano airport in Ticino, Switzerland as an authorised service centre for the PC-12 and PC-24, specialising in line maintenance services. The MRO company already offers maintenance and repair services for all Pilatus business aircraft at its Geneva site.

The accreditation of the Dassault Aviation Business Services site in Lugano marks a further expansion in the Pilatus network of authorised service centres. PC-12 and PC-24 customers now enjoy even faster and more flexible access to line maintenance and services, and benefit from even better support for their Pilatus Aircraft.

André Zimmermann, vice president business aviation at Pilatus, points out: “Demand for our PC-12 and PC-24 Super Versatile Jet continues to grow worldwide, which is why we are constantly expanding our support network. We are confident that our ongoing successful partnership with Dassault Aviation Business Services and accreditation of the site at Lugano airport will deliver a further improvement in our customer service.”

“Both the PC-12 and the PC-24 are a popular choice for private, business and charter operations in Europe. We look forward to building on our longstanding relationship with Pilatus and to providing support for these fantastic aircraft,” adds Cyrille Pillet, vice president customer support and technical services at Dassault Aviation Business Services.
