April 16, 2009, Stans, Switzerland – The Board of Directors of Pilatus Aircraft Ltd has approved the following
change to the Senior Management. The new appointment is prompted
by the departure of the former job holder, John Senior, and will take

Research & Development. Mr Cervia, who holds a Masters Degree in
Aeronautical Engineering, has worked for Pilatus in various management
functions since 1986. He has been in charge of developing new products

position from amongst its own ranks. Bruno Cervia is a long-serving
member of the Pilatus staff with a proven track record. The Pilatus Board
of Directors wishes him every success, and much satisfaction, in his new
