The Pilatus PC-12 & PC-24 both offer clients an extremely comfortable method of transportation that delivers them to their destination safely, quickly and comfortably.

Aircraft Created in the Heart of Switzerland

Since its inception in 1939, Pilatus Aircraft Ltd. has been providing flyers with some of the most innovative and versatile aircraft in the skies. As the only Swiss company to develop, manufacture and sell aircraft, this company has a lot to offer.

The SB-3 Pelikan was one of the first aircraft to come from the innovative team at Pilatus. It was designed specifically for use in mountain ranges, inspired by the Swiss Alps. In 1959, the Pilatus Port PC-6 put the Swiss company on the aviation radar. It was shortly after the release of this aircraft that sales took off in the international aircraft market.

Since then, Pilatus jets have been in high demand among frequent flyers across the globe. The most current aircraft offerings include:

  • Pilatus Porter PC-6, the best-selling single-engine turboprop in its class
  • PC-12 and PC-21, both touted as the ‘training system of the future’
  • PC-24, the first-ever business jet for use on short runways

Two Popular Picks for Private Air Travel Enthusiasts

At Stratos Jet Charters, the most popular Pilatus jet is easily the PC-24.

The Pilatus PC-24 first hit the market in early 2018, and since then it’s earned the title of one of the most versatile and advanced light jets available for charter. Typically used for business aviation, the PC-24 boasts:

  • Seating for up to 8 passengers
  • The largest cabin in its category at 500 cubic feet, with more than 5 feet of headroom and 23 feet in length
  • 90 square feet of baggage space
  • An impressive cruise speed of 500 miles per hour
  • An equally impressive range of 2,035 nautical miles
  • The ability to land on a short, unpaved runway, and more

Go Where Other Jets Can’t

Known for its off-road capabilities, the PC-24 can access nearly 20,000 airports around the world. In fact, all you need is a runway of at least 2,930 feet and the PC-24 can land with no issues. And as an added bonus, the arrival runway doesn’t even have to be paved! The PC-24 can land on grass, gravel, or pavement.

Fully Customizable at Any Altitude

One of the features that sets this jet apart from the competition is its cabin and the ability to reconfigure it in-flight. Each seat features quick-change capabilities that allows the cabin to take on a different function in minutes. The aft partition is also moveable so passengers can pack a little more if necessary. If there’s less baggage on a particular flight, simply move the partition to allow for more legroom. This type of feature is hard to find on other business aircraft.
