Indonesia's Ministry of Defense has contracted Pilatus for 12 factory‑new PC‑24 light jets to be supplied via a government‑authorised contractor for the Indonesian Air Force, intended for pilot training and light transport. The order is Pilatus's largest military PC‑24 deal to date; Jakarta also signalled interest in PC‑21 trainers.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Adds 12 PC‑24s to Indonesia’s inventory, expanding TNI‑AU pilot training and light‑transport capacity and reinforcing Jakarta’s broader modernisation push following recent Rafale deliveries and completion of the A400M order.

  • As Pilatus’s largest military PC‑24 contract to date, the sale is a notable commercial milestone that could affect the OEM’s production and delivery pipeline in the context of its recent FY2025 sales/orders and U.S. expansion including the new Sarasota MRO/plant.

  • The aircraft will be delivered via a government‑authorised contractor, a procurement route that sets responsibilities for integration, logistics and long‑term support rather than direct MoD handover.
