Features of the aircraft

3 417 km range

The Pilatus PC-12 NG handles regional legs and landings at small airfields: a range of about 3 417 km covers typical legs without intermediate stops.

8-seat cabin

A cabin 1.52 m wide and 1.47 m high seats 8 passengers, with a 1.13 m³ baggage hold.

Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67P engines

The Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67P engines deliver reliability and predictable economics. A guide flight-hour cost at 300–400 h/year is $1 612; an engine programme fixes maintenance costs.

Short and unpaved strips

Operation from short and unpaved strips opens airfields closer to the destination that jets cannot use.

Honeywell Apex avionics

The Honeywell Apex suite improves safety and reduces crew workload; modern equipment meets current requirements.

Liquidity and support

A model highlight — a cargo door and unpaved-strip operation from 600 m. A developed Pilatus service network and pre-owned demand protect the investment on resale.

Possible aircraft configuration options

6 VIP seats + 2 economy seats

The most popular aircraft configuration. We highly recommend it! The aircraft is certified for 8 seats, but the two rear seats can be easily removed to create a 6-seater cabin, with seats 5 and 6 sliding rearward. This provides maximum comfort during flight (see the 6-seat configuration). According to statistics, 90% flights are operated with 6 seats. The aircraft has 3 tables (the 3rd one is opposite the rear seat).

If necessary, you can easily put 2 chairs back and get 8 seats again.
If you initially have 6 seats, you'll never be able to make 8. The restroom is located opposite the plane entrance.

6 VIP seats

The six-seat layout ensures maximum passenger comfort. There's plenty of room for rear passengers.
There are 3 tables on the plane (the 3rd one is opposite the far seat).
Such an aircraft is certified for a maximum of 6 seats and it will be impossible to change this.

The toilet is located opposite the entrance to the plane.

9 seats economy

The configuration allows for a maximum number of passengers - 9 seats.
This configuration excludes a toilet.

2 medical modules + 3 chairs

The configuration accommodates 2 medical modules and 3 seats for doctors and accompanying persons.
You can make 1 module instead of 2.
The layout excludes a toilet

Possible interior options for the new aircraft

When ordering an aircraft from the factory, you can choose any of these interior options, or use one as a basis and change the color and material of any element of the aircraft. A huge variety of materials are available, allowing you to create a completely custom design.

Key Benefits

Low Speed Prop mode allows you to significantly reduce engine noise in the cabin by slightly reducing propeller speed at flight altitude.

The PT6E-67XP engine with FADEC autothrottle system increased engine power by 10%, increasing maximum speed and reducing takeoff distance.

The aviation model has been supplemented with a touchscreen flight control system, a smart landing system, a night map mode, an emergency descent mode, and the TCAS II system.

The interior is similar to the PC-24: ergonomic seats made of genuine leather, larger windows, increased headroom

The PC-12 NGX features a generous heated and thermal cargo area with a level floor and a cargo door designed to fit a standard pallet.

Now the fuel is heated internally by oil before entering the engine, and the aircraft no longer needs additives.

How to choose an aircraft to buy?

Choosing an aircraft to purchase is an important step that will determine the comfort of your flights. Here are the key factors to consider:

Purpose of aircraft:

Short business trips: a small but comfortable aircraft such as the Cessna Citation CJ3+ or Embraer Phenom 300E is suitable for business meetings.
Family/friends vacations: if you are traveling with a large group of people on a medium distance, choose more spacious models, such as Bombardier Challenger 605 or Gulfstream G450.
Transcontinental flights: for long flights, you need an aircraft with long range and sleeping places, such as the Bombardier Global 6000 or Gulfstream G650ER.

Number of passengers:

Determine medium number of passengers that are flying most of the time, to select an aircraft with enough seats and comfort level for everyone.

Distance and route:

Consider the range of 80% of your most popular flights for the chosen model and the possibility of landing at the destination airport. Consider the specifics of your route: mountainous or maritime terrain may require Aircrafts with specific specifications. We can help you with this!

Budget:

Determine your budget and compare the cost of buying different models. We’ll tell you when you could cut corners and when you shouldn’t do that.
The cost of the aircraft should not exceed 5% of your capital. Otherwise, you could attract financing.

Additional Requirements:

Availability of full size bedroom, kitchen, sleeping places, shower room, internet and entertainment system.

How an Aircraft Purchase Works: Request, Contract, Payment

Send us a request

Sign a contract

Frequently asked questions

Pilatus PC-12 NG: what kind of aircraft is it and what to consider when buying?

The PC-12 NG is a Swiss single-engine turboprop built in 2008–2019 — part of the best-selling family in its class (2,000+ aircraft). Eight passengers, 3,417 km range, 528 km/h cruise and a Pratt & Whitney PT6A-67P engine. Its signatures are operation from unpaved strips as short as 600 m and a large cargo door as standard. There is no flight attendant or hot meal service — the cabin is compact. There is no in-flight baggage access — bags are loaded on the ground. On typical legs it covers routes such as Vienna–Milan · Paris–Athens. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How much does the Pilatus PC-12 NG cost: purchase and running costs?

Guide figures for the Pilatus PC-12 NG: average pre-owned price — $4.5M. Running costs at 300–400 h/year — about $645K/year, or $1,613 per flight hour. The final figure depends on year, hours flown, engine-programme status and configuration. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

What is Pilatus known for and which aircraft does it build?

Switzerland's Pilatus makes two hits. The PC-12 is the best-selling single-engine turboprop in the world (over 2,000 built): 8–9 seats, 3,300 km, operation from unpaved strips as short as 750 m. The PC-24 is a unique 'off-road jet': jet speed of 815 km/h combined with unpaved-strip clearance and runways from 900 m. Both are famed for Swiss build and thoughtful design. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How reliable is the single-engine PC-12?

The fleet statistics answer better than words: 2,000+ PC-12s have logged over 10 million hours, with one of the best accident rates of any turboprop, including twins. The PT6A-67P engine, with 500 million family hours, runs 3,500 hours between overhauls. North American operators carry cargo and patients on the PC-12 around the clock — no tougher test exists. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How well does Pilatus hold value on the pre-owned market?

The PC-12 is a residual-value record-holder in general aviation: a ten-year-old aircraft keeps 65–75% of its price (a new NGX is ~$6.5M, a 2015 PC-12 NG $4.3–5M). The reason is perpetual scarcity: the aircraft's versatility keeps demand from charter, air-ambulance and cargo operators. A good aircraft's exposure rarely lasts more than a month. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How does the PC-24 differ from ordinary light jets?

The PC-24 is the only jet serially certified for gravel, grass and unpaved strips: it can use ~20,000 airfields worldwide instead of ~5,000. Plus a 1.25×1.30 m cargo door like a turboprop's and a flat 8–10-seat cabin floor. The price of versatility is range: 3,890 km versus 4,000+ for the CJ4. A new one is about $12M. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

What routes and tasks suit turboprops?

Turboprops are the optimum for flights up to 1,500–2,000 km: London–Geneva, Paris–Milan, Vienna–Munich. Their element is short and unpaved strips: a Pilatus PC-12 lands in 600 m, so thousands of airfields are reachable that a jet physically cannot use. An hour costs one and a half to two times less than a jet, and on legs up to 1,000 km the time penalty is only 15–25 minutes. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

What range and how many passengers do turboprops have?

Single-engine aircraft take 4–9 passengers: the TBM 960 seats six over 3,200 km, the Pilatus PC-12 NGX up to nine over 3,400 km. The twin-engine King Air 360ER carries eight almost 5,000 km. Class cruise speed is 500–610 km/h. A rule of thumb: a full cabin cuts maximum range by 20–30%. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How does a turboprop differ from neighbouring classes?

A jet is faster — 750–850 km/h versus 500–610 — and flies higher, above turbulence. The turboprop answers with economics: 220–350 L/hour versus 500–700, a charter hour from $1,800 versus $3,000+, plus access to short unpaved strips. On legs up to 1,000 km the time difference is under half an hour, so short hops make sense by turboprop and long ones by jet. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

Which turboprops are in the fleet and how do they differ?

The fleet has 13 models: the fast Daher TBM 960 and Piper M700 Fury (556–611 km/h, 5–6 seats), the roomy Pilatus PC-12 NG/NGX/PRO with a cargo door and nine seats, the twin King Air 260 and 360ER for long legs up to 5,000 km, the business Piaggio Avanti Evo with jet speed and a stand-up cabin, and the affordable Piper M350/M500/M600SLS. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

How do you choose an aircraft to buy for your needs?

Start from two numbers: the length of your typical route and the number of passengers. Up to 1,000 km and 4 people — a turboprop or light jet; 2,000–4,000 km — a midsize jet; nonstop intercontinental — a long-range jet. Then adjust for short runways, baggage volume and sleeping berths. We'll match a model to your profile and calculate the ownership economics. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

New aircraft or pre-owned — which is the better buy?

A new aircraft means a factory warranty and a 1–3-year queue, but the price is at its peak. A pre-owned aircraft means immediate delivery and a price 30–60% lower, while engine time and history matter. For most buyers a fresh 3–7-year-old aircraft is optimal: the main depreciation has happened and plenty of life remains. We cost both options. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.
