Qatar is to acquire a fleet of 24 Pilatus PC-21 turboprop trainers and associated equipment, the Swiss manufacturer has announced.
"The Qatar Emiri Air Force selected the PC-21 as their fixed-wing basic and advanced training aircraft, after a thorough evaluation both in Switzerland and in Qatar," Pilatus says.
To equip a new air force academy to be established in Qatar, the aircraft will be accompanied by a ground-based training system, and be "directly supported by Pilatus under a long-term performance-based support contract" also including maintenance activities, the company says.
Aircraft deliveries will commence in mid-2014, with the new academy to begin providing crew training services in mid-2015.
