Pilatus’ dedication to sustainability is evident in its use of environmentally favorable materials in the cabin interior of the PC-24, such as natural oils in place of synthetic varnishes.
In addition to its state-of-the-art technology, the PC-24 provides passengers with the utmost level of comfort. This includes a bright, spacious cabin, a flat floor, first-class workmanship, and a diverse selection of materials.
Pilatus will collaborate with F/LIST, a global supplier of high-end interiors for business and private aircraft, to exhibit the first-ever mock-up of a PC-24 cabin interior that has been designed using environmentally friendly materials at the 2024 NBAA-BACE in Las Vegas. Not only does Transparent F/LAB Natural Oil reduce the release of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) into the environment, but it also emphasizes the attractiveness of the wood veneers. The matt sheen and tangible grain bring out the natural patterns and swirl within the wood. The abrasion and stain-resistant properties of the oil-treated surface enable regular use with minimal maintenance, ensuring its durability.
The majority of the fabrics utilized by Pilatus in the opulent interiors of the present day are composed of unique fibers. They are effortless to clean and maintain their form following a wash. The washing procedure necessitates significantly less water and detergent, and the energy consumption of fast drying is also reduced. Additionally, the material is recyclable.
Another illustration is the carpeting, which is wholly composed of natural wool. Pure new wool is one of the most environmentally beneficial and cleanest flooring materials in the world, as it is a renewable and biodegradable fiber. Pilatus provides a selection of carpets that are entirely free of artificial dyes for its most environmentally conscientious clients.
André Zimmermann, Vice President of Business Aviation at Pilatus, emphasizes that the company is continuously striving to enhance the services it provides to its customers and to minimize its environmental impact without sacrificing quality or performance. For many years, Pilatus has been dedicated to energy efficiency and sustainability, as evidenced by our production processes. Furthermore, we persist in our investment in sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which we employ for a portion of our fleet.
Currently, sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) is predominantly produced from biomass or waste materials, and Pilatus aircraft are already certified to use it. Pilatus and Synhelion initiated their strategic partnership in the summer of 2024 with the objective of expediting the expansion of solar fuels in aviation. Pilatus has agreed to acquire 200 tons of solar fuel annually for a period of five years, commencing in 2027, as stipulated in the purchase agreement. Pilatus intends to implement the solar-derived fuel in its own fleet and, at a later date, to provide it to PC-12 and PC-24 customers.
