With a new customisation of an aircraft there can always be a delay, even airlines suffer this. It need not be a complicated issue that causes the delay, it can be a low tech cheap bracket that is missing, or the supplier has had a fire at their factory. Fact is delays in first delivery can happen.
Now throw on top Covid-19 and they become out of all proportion. Some factories in Germany stopped production in Feb as some small item from 3rd tier suppliers out of China were not available. The aircraft are in the USA and we all know what the pandemic is like there. I for one would hope that the workers in Pilatus are staying safe and that none gets Covid-19 just so they can finish our aircraft.

Will AC pilots have to go get them, or will they be delivered? With the current COVID-19, there are practical problems with either option.'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

280 returned from the Canaries today, via Malaga.
Over the weekend 104 Sqn supported MINURSO with a troop and cargo rotation to Western Sahara. The photograph below is 'Irish 280' on the ground at Laayoune International Airport. #strengthenthenation #joinourteam #MINURSO pic.twitter.com/aXHiYuMBNd
