Why Charter a Pilatus PC-12?
The Pilatus PC-12 is the benchmark single-engine turboprop in private aviation. Swiss-engineered with over 1,800 aircraft delivered worldwide, it combines an unusually spacious cabin, a flat floor, and a remarkably generous cargo door — features typically reserved for larger aircraft — into a platform that can land on short runways and reach island destinations that jets cannot.
A Cabin Designed for Comfort
Despite being a single-engine turboprop, the PC-12 offers one of the most spacious cabins in its class. With a flat floor throughout and seating for up to 9 passengers, the interior feels more like a light jet than a turboprop. Passengers travel in individual club seats with generous legroom for the full duration of the flight.
The Oversized Cargo Door Advantage
One of the PC-12’s most practical advantages is its large aft cargo door — the largest of any aircraft in its class. Golf bags, surfboards, dive equipment, oversized luggage, and specialty items load easily without the constraints typical of other turboprops or light jets. It’s the aircraft of choice for travelers who don’t travel light.
Island & Short-Field Access
With its robust short-field capability and 1,800 nm range, the PC-12 is the preferred aircraft for island-hopping routes throughout the Bahamas, BVI, St. Barts, and Puerto Rico. It operates comfortably from short airstrips that put you directly at your destination — no ferry, no long transfer.
The Aircraft That Goes Where Others Can't
The Pilatus PC-12 combines island access, generous cargo capacity, a flat-floor cabin, and 1,800 nm of range — making it the most versatile single-engine turboprop available for private charter.
Island & Short-Field Access
Lands on short airstrips throughout the Bahamas, BVI, St. Barts, and Puerto Rico — putting you directly at your destination without transfers or ferry connections.
Oversized Cargo Door
The largest cargo door in its class handles golf bags, surfboards, dive gear, and oversized luggage with ease. Travel with everything you need, no restrictions.
1,800 NM Range
Covers San Francisco to Las Vegas, New York to Nantucket, Florida to Puerto Rico and back — all without refueling stops. More range than most competing turboprops.
