Oregon-based non-profit air medical transport provider Life Flight Network has signed a 10-year agreement with Pilatus Aircraft and placed an order for twelve PC-12 PRO turboprops, with an undisclosed number of options. “The PC-12 PRO provides the performance, reliability, and advanced safety technology necessary to serve our communities across the Pacific Northwest, Intermountain West, and Hawaii,” said Ben Clayton, chief executive.

Deliveries are scheduled to begin in 2027. The Part 135-certified carrier will become the first in the United States to operate the PC-12 PRO in a medical evacuation configuration.
