Pilatus Aircraft has entered into a strategic partnership with Synhelion, a European developer of sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) technology. The Swiss aircraft manufacturer has also become a shareholder in Synhelion, demonstrating its commitment to reducing reliance on fossil-based fuels.

Synhelion is known for its innovative process that utilizes solar power to produce SAF. The company plans to start construction next year in Spain on its first commercial-scale plant. Pilatus intends to use this "solar fuel" in its fleet of PC-24 light jets and PC-12 turboprop singles before making it available to customers.

"We are convinced of the value of solar fuel technology. These fuels are the best way to defossilize air travel as quickly as possible," said Markus Bucher, CEO of Pilatus. "We’re delighted to play a pioneering role together with Synhelion, and make an important contribution to sustainability in the aviation sector."
