Go behind the scenes of one of Switzerland's greatest engineering success stories.

Join ASAIN and the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Switzerland for an exclusive visit to Pilatus Flugzeugwerke AG in Stans, Switzerland's leading aircraft manufacturer.
We will hear from Australian engineers working at Pilatus, who will share their experiences and insights into contributing to one of Switzerland's most respected engineering companies. Guests will also enjoy a guided factory tour, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the innovation, precision and craftsmanship involved in manufacturing Pilatus aircraft.
Pilatus has strong ties to Australia. The PC-6 Porter, PC-12 and PC-24 operate across the country in civil, policing and emergency services roles, while the Royal Australian Air Force has relied on Pilatus aircraft for pilot training for decades, from the PC-9/A to today's PC-21.
This is a unique opportunity to experience world-class engineering and celebrate a remarkable Australia-Switzerland connection.
