Swiss manufacturer Pilatus received certification for its PC-24 versatile jet from both the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) on 7 December.
The announcement from Pilatus marks the end of an 11-year project to bring the twin-engine corporate jet to market.
"The PC-24 is the first ever Pilatus business jet," said Pilatus' Chairman Oscar J. Schwenk. "Naturally, the requirements associated with obtaining certification for this sort of aircraft are extremely rigorous, and I need hardly mention that we faced some big challenges.
"In 2013 we announced that the PC-24 would be ready in 2017, and now, shortly before the end of the year, we have achieved exactly that.
"I’m extremely proud of my workforce, and would like to thank Pilatus owners, the two aviation authorities and our first 84 PC-24 customers for their trust and confidence in myself and my team.
"This project involved considerable risk, but we always believed 100% in our PC-24 and were prepared to go all the way to the limits of what we can reasonably do to ensure its success."
The PC-24 is powered by two Williams FJ44-4A turbines producing 15000 kN of thrust each, giving the PC-24 a top speed of 440 knots and a range with four passengers of 1950 nm.
Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service is believed to have at least four of the type on order.
According to PIlatus, the PC-24 project began in mid-2006, although it wasn't announced to the world officially until the European Business Aviation Convention and Exhibition (EBACE) in Geneva in 2013. The first prototype flew in May 2015.
The first PC-24 will be delivered to US fractional ownership company Planesense at Pilatus' Stans, Switzerland headquarters this month. Pilatus currently has eight airframes on the production line, and plans to deliver 23 aeroplanes around the world in 2018.
