Will Serve Paraguay, Uruguay As Well
Pilatus Aircraft has selected Quilque S.A. of Buenos Aires,
Argentina as its newest sales center in South America. Established
in 1997, Quilque is the aeronautical arm of Estancias y
Cabaña Las Lilas (ECLL), one of Argentina’s most
renowned farming operations. Quilque will be responsible for the
sales and marketing of the PC-12 NG in Argentina, Paraguay, and
Uruguay.
“In making this decision, we thoroughly reviewed several
candidates and we were very impressed by the overall quality of
potential representatives," said Thomas Bosshard, President and
CEO, speaking from Pilatus Business Aircraft, Ltd. in Broomfield,
Colorado. "Ultimately, Quilque’s outstanding personnel and
expertise, including their product knowledge of the PC-12 NG as a
long-time Pilatus customer proved to be the right match to sell and
support the world’s best selling business
turboprop.”
“When we heard that Pilatus was looking to establish a
sales center in Argentina we were immediately interested," added
Gonzalo Caraballo of Quilque. As a long time PC-12 owner we know
that the PC-12 NG is ideally suited for travelling across the
regions’ vast rural expanses and landing on its many
unmaintained airfields. The low direct operating cost and
versatility of the PC-12 NG make it an especially attractive travel
solution. We are already busy finding new customers for this
fantastic aircraft.”
Since its introduction in 1994, the PC-12 has steadily grown in
sales and success to become one of the top selling turbine-powered
business aircraft in the world. The versatile PC-12 performs many
roles worldwide, including executive transport, commuter, air
ambulance, police and border surveillance, cargo, and
regional airliner. Quilque S.A. will focus on sales and support of
the PC-12 NG, which features a fully integrated Honeywell Primus
Apex avionics system, a cockpit designed by BMW Group Designworks
USA, and a powerful Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6A engine.
