Pilatus Announces Partnership With TATA Advanced Systems Limited

Aero Structures To Be Fabricated In India

A long-term contract between Pilatus and Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL) has been signed for a ten-year period providing for delivery of the first complete PC-12 NG aero structure during the second half of 2016.

The project includes tooling, jigs and training of TASL’s personnel at Pilatus facilities in Switzerland. The training will enable TASL to supply PC-12 NG aero structures for the Pilatus global supply chain. TASL replaces an existing Pilatus supplier who was formerly responsible for producing PC-12 aero structures in Eastern Europe.

“TATA is without doubt a partner of choice for Pilatus in the continued expansion of its portfolio of international subcontractors," said Markus Bucher, CEO of Pilatus
Aircraft Ltd. "The partnership is also important in the context of Pilatus’ offset
obligation resulting from the sale of the PC-7 MkII Training Aircraft System to the Indian Air Force."

In 2012, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd entered into a contract with the Government of India to supply 75 PC-7 MkII turboprop basic trainer aircraft to the Indian Air Force.

Located in the Telangana region, Southern India, Tata Advanced Systems Limited has set up a number of similar aero structure programs for global OEMs since 2009 and Pilatus says it is confident that TASL will prove to be a partner capable of meeting the highest standards of quality, and one with the requisite experience and certifications in the aviation industry.

Pilatus says it looks forward to strengthening its partnership with Tata Advanced Systems Limited through this significant program.
