U.S. agrees zero‑tariff aircraft deals with Switzerland and South Korea — Pilatus deliveries to U.S. resume

The U.S. has reached zero‑tariff agreements on aircraft with Switzerland and South Korea, clearing the way for Swiss planemaker Pilatus to resume shipments to the U.S. after a pause that halted deliveries until late October. The move restores a key transatlantic trade flow disrupted by recent tariff measures.

Briefing

What Hype is tracking

  • Pilatus deliveries to the U.S. resume after a pause that lasted until late October, removing an immediate supply disruption for operators and fractional providers such as PlaneSense.

  • The zero‑tariff agreement builds on earlier moves to restore reciprocal "zero‑for‑zero" rules, easing cost pressure and transatlantic supply‑chain strain for OEMs and suppliers (U.S.-EU framework to restore zero‑for‑zero tariffs; industry calls at US Chamber summit).

  • A policy shift toward tariff relief undercuts recent incentives for planemakers to lobby for exemptions or to relocate production, as seen in talks by manufacturers such as Embraer seeking relief from U.S. duties.
