Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG
Swiss National Day saw some 35'000 visitors watch the spectacle of the PC-24 rollout at Buochs airfield.
For the world premiere of the PC-24, Buochs airfield was transformed into a giant festival mile. Large LED screens lining the visitor zone showed the whole show live. Food and drink stands as well as small show stages were dotted along the 800 m long festival mile.
The arena – featuring a 20x20m Swiss cross at its heart – was framed by the grandstand offering seating for some 4'000 guests. The PC-24 was hauled into the arena by 24 cart horses. With their performances, over 120 entertainers and more than 160 children made the rollout an unforgettable event for Pilatus’s high-ranking guests, customers and fans.
Furrer Events was heavily involved in the organisation and planning and ensured that everything ran smoothly before and after this unique event, as well as on the big day itself.
