The transaction comprised the purchase of the site for €12.1 million for the purpose of building Pilatus’s first factory outside Switzerland. The new facility entails an investment exceeding €100 million and is expected to generate up to 500 jobs in Andalusia. The project will include a major fuselage, wing and components structural assembly and system integration centre for private jets, a customer service centre, a European logistics hub, a software development centre and an engineering R&D centre. The transaction was authorised by the Regional Government of Andalusia, which owns the land through the Andalusian Housing and Rehabilitation Agency (Agencia de Vivienda y Rehabilitación de Andalucía – AVRA), together with the Carmona Development Agency (Sociedad para el Desarrollo de Carmona – Sodecar). Since summer 2022 Spain’s future military pilots have been training on Pilatus’s PC-21 Next Generation Training System. The PC-21 offers high-performance, state-of-the-art equipment that is more cost- and fuel-efficient than a jet trainer.
