AMAC Aerospace will start its sales activities through a local sales office in Beirut, Lebanon as of January 1, 2012. All the aircraft will be maintained at a Maintenance Service Center, based in Istanbul, Turkey and the operation will start during the second half of 2012.

“We are very happy to be selected for such a prestigious partnership and we are convinced that a lot of aircraft will be sold through our local existing network in the Middle East. As an operator of two Pilatus PC-12 NG aircraft ourselves, we believe devoutly in the excellent performance of this aircraft, that also enables quick and flexible operation close to any destination”, says Kadri Muhiddin, Executive Chairman and CEO, AMAC Aerospace.
“AMAC is the right partner for us because of its reputable name in the maintenance and completion market from this important region”, says Fred Muggli, Head of Sales & Marketing PC-12 for Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. The single-turbine powered PC-12 NG has become increasingly popular as a cost effective and dependable aircraft that is well suited for a wide variety of transport missions. Low acquisition and operating costs combined with a large cabin, standard cargo door, and ability to fly into short and unimproved airfields, uniquely distinguish the PC-12 NG from all other jet and twin turboprop aircraft.
