Pilatus PC-12 air taxi charter

A Pilatus PC-12 NGX single-engine turboprop with its airstair door open

The Pilatus PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop with a generous cabin and short-field ability, which makes it the air taxi of choice for regional airfields that jets cannot use. It suits business trips, family travel and groups of up to eight.

Inside, leather seats, a roomy cabin and generous baggage space give you far more room than a light jet. Many aircraft have an enclosed lavatory, and your dog or cat can fly in the cabin with you. A smaller, efficient single-engine turboprop also keeps the price down on shorter routes across the UK and Europe.

The PC-12 flies up to 290 knots and has a range of up to 1,765 nm. Performance figures are manufacturer maximums and vary with the model and the load, so your quote confirms the aircraft and timings for your flight. See the manufacturer’s PC-12 page for more.
