Aircraft Pilatus PC-24

The PC-24 is the only jet in the world serially certified for gravel, grass and unpaved strips: it can use three times more airfields than its rivals. Eight to ten seats, a range of 3,889 km, 815 km/h, Williams FJ44-4A engines and a 1.25×1.30 m cargo door as standard. In production since 2018, with a years-long waiting list for new aircraft. A flight attendant and hot meals are available depending on cabin configuration. The baggage compartment is accessible in flight. On typical legs it covers routes such as London–Geneva · Geneva–Ibiza. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The midsize class covers 4–6-hour legs: London–Dubai, Geneva–Istanbul, Vienna–Dubai. A range of 3,900–6,200 km allows nonstop flights from Europe to the Gulf, India and North Africa. The cabin now allows standing (1.73–1.83 m), work at a table and a flight as a working day — the class is chosen for its balance of range, comfort and price.

Layouts are 8–9 seats, with up to nine passengers on the Citation Latitude and Praetor 500 with two pilots. Range: Citation XLS+ and PC-24 about 3,900 km, Hawker 800XP/900XP 4,600–4,900 km, Latitude 5,280 km, Praetor 500 a class-record 6,200 km. Cruise 780–850 km/h. Holds of 1.3–2.3 m³ take a whole group's gear, including skis. Send us a request — we'll prepare options, calculate running costs and analyse the best fit for your task.

To the light class the midsize adds a stand-up cabin, an extra 1,000–2,000 km and a full galley — but an hour is $1,500–2,500 dearer. The super-midsize goes further: 6,300–7,400 km, a flat floor, sleeping berths — and another $1,000–2,000 on the hour. Midsize is justified on 4–6-hour routes for up to nine people; transatlantic and large parties call for super-midsize.

Eleven models: the newest Cessna Citation Ascend, Latitude (flat floor, 1.83 m cabin) and Sovereign+, the proven XLS+ Gen 2 — the world's best-selling midsize — the long-legged Embraer Praetor 500 (6,200 km), the 'off-road' Pilatus PC-24 cleared for unpaved strips, the classic Hawker 750/800XP/900XP with the widest cabin of its generation, the fast Learjet 60XR and the compact Gulfstream G150.

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.

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.
