The PC-24s will be used by the Indonesian Air Force to train transport pilots and for transport and liaison missions, according to a press release issued on Monday.

The jet is certified for single-pilot operation, has a standard cargo door and can also operate on unpaved runways. These features are crucial for use in the country, which consists of over 17,000 islands, Pilatus writes.

A letter of intent for the delivery of 24 PC-21 training aircraft was also signed at the same time as the order. This package also includes ground training facilities, spare parts, ground equipment and technical support, according to the press release.
