Pilatus PC-24

Pilatus PC-24 profile, including current pricing, manufacturing dates, cabin size and passenger capacity, range, speed, baggage space, fractional ownership and jet card options.

The Pilatus PC-24 is a light jet designed and manufactured by Pilatus Aircraft.

It is known for its short takeoff and landing capabilities and versatility, including being able to land on grass runways.

Aviation Week writes, “Compared to that sibling, the jet flies 50% faster, 50% higher, and offers 50% more cabin volume. The PC-24 is the only current-production business jet that is purpose-built for combination passenger and freight missions, having both a 17-sq.-ft. cargo door and approval for unimproved runway operations. It’s positioned as a light jet, but it offers a midsize cabin with a flat floor. Operators say it has no direct competitors.”

The PC-24 is also designed for short takeoff and landing (STOL) operations, with a short runway requirement of just 2,930 feet.

The PC-24 is available from PlaneSense in its fractional ownership program.

Named the Super Versatile Jet, the PC-24 can do more than bizjet designers have ever dared to dream. Whether you want to dress it up for VIP transport, haul cargo, move medical passengers or head to the backcountry, this airplane will do it all.

In the cabin, new lie-flat seats provide more comfort, more intuitive controls, and lighter weight, in addition to quick-release mechanisms to facilitate rapid seating configuration changes. In lieu of the standard forward left-hand coat closet, operators may now opt for a galley with a microwave oven, coffee/espresso maker, work surface, ice storage, and/or capacity for standard catering units.
