Overview
- The contract, announced Monday, routes 12 PC-24s through authorized contractor PT E-System Solutions Indonesia to support air force transport, pilot training, and liaison missions.
- The package includes options for more aircraft plus ground support gear, tools, spare parts, crew training, and technical support from Pilatus headquarters in Stans, Switzerland.
- Pilatus says the PC-24 can operate from short or unpaved runways and is certified for single‑pilot flights, features that suit Indonesia’s 17,000‑island geography and many remote strips.
- A separate Letter of Intent covers 24 PC-21 advanced trainers with ground-based training equipment, spare parts, and technical support to strengthen the flight training pipeline.
- Pilatus leaders framed the deal as the start of a long-term partnership and highlighted the jet’s large cargo door for quick swaps between VIP, medical evacuation, and cargo roles.
