Pilatus noted that 2010 was “difficult for the business aviation sector”. However, 79 PC-12s were still delivered in 2010, including the 33rd for the Royal Flying Doctors Service (RFDS) and three to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
Military sales were boosted with the November 2009 order by the United Arab Emirates Air Force & Air Defence for 25 PC-21 trainers, and the Swiss Air Force ordering a further two.
