Jetfly Aviation (JFA, Luxembourg) has taken delivery of its first PC-24 business jet from Pilatus Aircraft (PCH, Buochs) with a second aircraft scheduled to be delivered from the Swiss manufacturer by November.
Jetfly is the European launch customer for the PC-24 business jet and has four units on order. Its chief executive Cédric Lescop told Ultimate Jet earlier this summer that with the first aircraft already sold to fractional owners, he would hope to have the third aircraft sold and in service by May 2019. He expected that approximately 20% of the airline's current PC-12 customer base would be interested in transitioning to the PC-24.
The fractional ownership operator currently operates a fleet of 22 PC-12s alongside a small jet fleet of three Cessna Citation CJ3s.
Lescop hopes to eventually grow the PC-12 fleet to 35 units and the PC-24 fleet to 25 units by 2025.
