JetSwiss Aviation

JetSwiss Aviation exemplifies this principle by dedicating its operations and expertise solely to Pilatus aircraft, elevating its operational experience to an unmatched level. Concentrating all its efforts and knowledge on key facets of Pilatus PC-12s and PC-24s’ sales, acquisitions, management and daily operational support, JetSwiss creates a complete ‘Pilatus house’ for its clients. This ecosystem encompasses everything from due diligence and test flights to market valuation insights and a keen awareness of potential risks.

“Our hyper-focused business model and attention to detail are quite rare in the market. As we celebrate our 10th year, this approach has proven to be a successful business model that increasingly attracts clients year over year. They seek us out to overcome their complex challenges, uncover hidden insights and expand the boundaries of knowledge within our field,” says Don Peterson, founder of JetSwiss.

Most of the challenges stem from the limited frame of reference and perspective that clients—whether buyers, sellers or aircraft operators—have regarding equipment issues, market values and maintenance concerns. This knowledge gap creates a significant void. JetSwiss adeptly fills this gap, leveraging its longstanding track record of dealings with aircraft manufacturers to provide reassurance and reduce the risks involved in aircraft transactions and operations as much as possible.

This deep well of proficiency allows it to guide clients through every stage of the process, from start to finish, ensuring a seamless and successful journey throughout the aircraft’s lifecycle.

While the TO LIFT business model essentially forms the playbook for completing projects, the true drivers executing it successfully are JetSwiss’s specialized team members. The company has carefully assembled a full-service in-house boutique team to address every aspect of the operations. From marketing to mechanics and administration to escrow, JetSwiss has dedicated experts in each area under one roof. Moreover, it distinguishes itself through significant investments in physical infrastructure, including establishing a hangar in Kansas City. This facility is pivotal for storing and servicing aircraft assets, marking a clear competitive edge over rivals who do not directly engage with the aircraft.

It is this cohesive integration of specialized knowledge framework, skilled team and purpose-built facilities that fuels JetSwiss’s success, distinctly positioning it above its competitors.

The goal is to minimize the client’s potential risks as much as possible while maximizing the asset’s usage.

In one instance, a CEO of a Fortune 500 company sought JetSwiss’s expertise in acquiring a Pilatus aircraft. Guiding them through the aircraft selection, evaluation and managed upgrades, it delivered the aircraft to their satisfaction within 3 to 4 months. Not only did JetSwiss ensure a smooth acquisition, but after delivery, its assistance helped the client save over $150,000 by addressing maintenance issues, ensuring safety and providing extensive client education and support.

As JetSwiss celebrates a decade of success, it serves as proof of the power of specialization. Marking this milestone reaffirms its dedication to providing top-tier support to Pilatus owners and operators and reflects the depth of experience it has cultivated over the years.
