Pilatus has broken ground in Sarasota, Florida, on a new maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) and sales centre that will eventually include a 110,000‑sq‑ft aircraft manufacturing plant. The project expands the Swiss OEM's physical presence in the U.S. for aftersales and production activity.

Briefing
Establishes a Sarasota complex with an MRO/sales centre and a planned 110,000‑sq‑ft manufacturing hall, a concrete expansion of Pilatus’ U.S. infrastructure.
Locating maintenance and manufacturing capacity in the U.S. will shorten logistics and aftermarket support pathways for regional operators and Pilatus fleets.
The move builds on Pilatus' recent U.S. expansion efforts, including its rebrand and U.S. headquarters initiative (see recent Pilatus U.S. rollout) [source:782d252c-428f-4eb1-9372-1e1e73eeebe3].
