Pilatus Aircraft has appointed Nesterov Aviation as its exclusive sales and service representative for the PC-12NG in Russia. Until now, sales to this vast region were handled directly by the Swiss airframer from its Stans headquarters.

Pilatus says it has sold around a dozen of the $3.9 million, nine-seat, Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67B-powered aircraft to Russian owners including eight to Moscow-based charter company Dexter Air Taxi.

The global PC-12 fleet totals over 1,300.
