Hyderabad: Swiss aviation major Pilatus, which has a tie-up with IAF for trainee aircraft, is looking to set up a manufacturing facility in India for its PC-12 nine-seat airliner, a top company official said here.
The Swiss aircraft maker which will set up a training facility for its PC-7 MK-II aircraft as part of the agreement with the Indian Government, proposes to set up a support facility for its PC-12 aircraft, Vice-President of Pilatus Jim Roche said.
