As the launch customer of the PC-24, PlaneSense is expecting a total of six jets by end of 2019, the largest order received by Pilatus in its current order book. The highly anticipated jet will serve as the signature aircraft in the PlaneSense jet fleet.

“It is with great pride that we welcome the world’s first PC-24 jet to the PlaneSense fleet,” said George Antoniadis, President and CEO, PlaneSense, Inc. “The PC-24 raises the bar in private jet travel and perfectly embodies our principles of comfort and service.
