Air Charter Services PVT Ltd is new PC-12 Sales and Service Center in India

Pilatus Aircraft Ltd appoints Air Charter Services PVT Ltd (ACSPL) as its official PC-12 Sales and Service Center in India with responsibility for India, Sri Lanka, Nepal, Bhutan, Bangladesh, Burma and Thailand. As the official Service Center, the New Delhi-based facility will manage aircraft sales and carry out all aspects of PC-12 maintenance and warranty work.

“We are delighted to be working with a partner like ACSPL, who enjoys such a good reputation”, comments Fred Muggli, Head of Sales & Marketing PC-12 at Pilatus in Stans. “Asia is an interesting market for us, and in ACSPL we have found a reliable local partner with the skills and experience to offer our customers a first-class service.”

Semoun Jolly, Director of ACSPL, already owns three PC-12s. He knows and appreciates the aircraft’s outstanding flexibility and flying credentials: “The PC-12 can be used for a wide range of transport missions. Its ability to operate on unmade runways which are actually little more than tracks is ideal in our region”, comments Jolly.

Muggli adds: “We believe there are huge opportunities for the PC-12 in Asia and I am confident that ACSPL, with its many years of experience, can enhance our sales activities. We expect demand to be high, given the comparatively low cost of purchasing and operating a PC-12 coupled with its outstanding versatility, whether as a business, cargo or ambulance aircraft.”

“We will certainly do everything we can to provide our customers with the first-class standard of service and quality so typical of Pilatus”, adds Jolly.

Sales of the PC-12 have increased steadily since it was first launched in 1994. Total aircraft sold now exceed 1100, making the PC-12 the world’s best-selling turboprop business aircraft.
