https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/de ... -09-24/11/The purchase of three Pilatus PC-12 aircraft is at an advanced stage and they are due for delivery in early 2020.
It was a significant day for us in #CasementAirbase as the Minister with Responsibility for Defence Mr. Paul Kehoe T.D., accompanied by General Officer Commanding the Air Corps, Brigadier General Sean Clancy, signed a contract for the provision of three new fixed-wing utility aircraft.
The Pilatus #PC12 is a single-engine turboprop passenger and cargo aircraft manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft Ltd of Switzerland.
These aircraft are being purchased in line with the 2015 White Paper on Defence which specified that “The existing five Cessnas, which are currently due for replacement, will be replaced with three larger aircraft suitably equipped for ISTAR tasks.”
https://www.facebook.com/IrlAirCorps/vi ... 230904023/The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery in early 2019. The second aircraft will follow later in 2019, with the third to be delivered in 2020.
