Oriens Aviation (London Biggin Hill) has taken delivery of a first Pilatus PC-24, ch-aviation research reveals.

The brand-new Pilatus Aircraft, G-PCTF (msn 570), was delivered to London Biggin Hill from Buochs on April 25 as HB-VZD. On the same day, it was reregistered in the United Kingdom and has yet to enter service.

Earlier this year, Oriens Aviation announced that the newly arrived Pilatus PC-24 would be the first executive jet available for charter. It joins two PC-12s on the company's air operator's certificate (AOC), with one inducted in January 2025 primarily for air ambulance services. Additionally, Oriens Aviation manages a San Marino-registered HondaJet Elite II under Part-NCC regulations.
