French Navy PC-24 Delivered

The French Navy received its first Pilatus PC-24 at Landivisiau Naval Air Base on 7 May 2026, Mer et Marine reported. Registered F-HJAH, the aircraft is the first of three leased through Jet Aviation, which also maintains them, under a contract signed in October 2025; it had been handed to Jet Aviation at Le Bourget in March for its interior fit. Assigned to Escadrille 57S, the PC-24 replaces the Falcon 10 Mer for instrument-flight training of Rafale Marine pilots, liaison and urgent cargo, and makes the Navy the first European military operator of the type, according to Janes.
