Swiss aircraft maker Pilatus is planning to set up a manufacturing facility in India. The firm, which is supplying 75 basic training aircraft PC‐7 to the Indian Air Force, intends to set up a facility that will initially manufacture airframes for its single‐engine turboprop PC‐12 aircraft. “This will be our third support facility for PC‐12 aircraft, the other two being in Portugal and Poland. It will be part of our offset commitment in India,” Mr Jim Roche, Vice‐President of the company, told newspersons on the sidelines of a function to mark the induction of the first set of PC‐7 aircraft into the Indian Air Force.
