Sustainable Materials for the Pilatus PC-24 Cabin Interior

Pilatus is committed to sustainability – as demonstrated by the use of environmentally friendly materials in the cabin interior of the PC-24, including natural oils instead of synthetic varnishes.

Most of the fabrics used by Pilatus in today’s luxurious interiors are made from special fibres. They are easy to clean and they keep their shape after washing. The carpeting, which is made entirely from natural wool, is another example. As a renewable and biodegradable fibre, pure new wool is one of the world’s cleanest and most environmentally-friendly flooring materials. For its most environmentally-conscious clients, Pilatus offers a collection of carpets made without any artificial dyes at all.

Pilatus aircraft are already certified to use sustainable aviation fuel (SAF), which is currently produced primarily from biomass or waste materials. Aiming to accelerate the scaling of solar fuels in aviation, Pilatus and Synhelion announced the start of their strategic partnership in summer 2024. Under the purchase agreement, Pilatus has committed to buying 200 tonnes of solar fuel every year for five years, effective from 2027. Pilatus plans to use the solar-derived fuel in its own fleet and intends to offer it to PC-12 and PC-24 customers at a later date.
