Pilatus PC-12 Dominates U.S. Business Aircraft Market with 316,328 Takeoffs
The Pilatus PC-12 continues its dominance in the U.S. business aircraft market. Last year, it recorded an impressive 316,328 takeoffs, making it the most popular choice among business aircraft users.
This success is reflected in the sales figures. In 2023 alone, Pilatus Aircraft delivered 48 PC-12s to the U.S., contributing to the total of 101 aircraft built in Stans that year. Worldwide, over 2,000 Pilatus PC-12s have been sold, with the fleet surpassing 10 million flight hours in 2023/2024.
The PC-12's popularity can be attributed to its versatility and reliability. Introduced in 2019, the PC-12 NGX, the latest version of the aircraft, features state-of-the-art avionics and is powered by a Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine. This ensures a smooth and efficient flying experience.
With 8.8% of all business aircraft departures in the U.S. last year attributed to the Pilatus PC-12, its position as a leading business aircraft is solidified. As the fleet continues to grow and surpass milestones, the PC-12 remains a trusted choice for business aviation.
