The site will bring together customer handovers, design work and processing, as the company deepens its presence in its biggest market.
The company has broken ground on its flagship US site, part of a long-term expansion effort to meet global demand and boost North American support.
This marks the latest OEM contract for IS&S building on existing OEM programs with Pilatus Aircraft for the PC-24, Textron for the King Air 260/360, and Boeing for the KC-46A, KC-767A and the T-7A.
The Payload Range Increase Program focused on increasing the payload capacity and range, while retaining the PC-24's aerodynamic characteristics and flight handling, so that meant no major changes to the external shape.
The payload increase was achieved by refining both wing and fuselage structural elements to reduce the airframe empty weight while simultaneously increasing the maximum gross take-off weight limit.
A seven-year deal will see United Arab Emirates' based Strata Manufacturing Company engine mounting flaps, the horizontal flap of the aircraft's tail and the conical stabiliser for the tail.
Investment in the PC-24 has helped Pilatus to secure jobs at its Swiss site on a long-term basis. It is also working on further optimisations to ensure the order book remains buoyant.
