Pilatus Group: Subsidiaries
Pilatus Aircraft USA Ltd
Colorado, Maryland, South Carolina
Pilatus Aircraft USA Ltd is Pilatus’ US subsidiary. The company was founded in Broomfield, Colorado, in 1996, and has played a key role in Pilatus’ success in North and South America ever since. A large proportion of the aircraft produced in Stans are transferred to the USA for customer-specific finalization. This includes interior fittings, technical adjustments, paintwork, handover processes and preparation for delivery. This proximity to the market allows Pilatus to respond to individual customer preferences and ensure compliance with the regulatory requirements of the US authorities. Besides its headquarters in Colorado, the company also has other locations in Maryland and South Carolina. An additional facility is currently under construction in Sarasota, Florida, and will further strengthen the Pilatus footprint in the Southeastern United States.
