Pilatus has temporarily stopped delivering aircraft to the USA. This was announced by the aircraft manufacturer from Stans NW on Friday. The high US customs tariff is a "considerable competitive disadvantage" for the company.
Pilatus intends to use the halt in deliveries to work out solutions with its customers and partners, according to the press release. Existing relationships with US customers and services will continue seamlessly and in full despite the delivery stop.
