Pilatus, a Swiss aircraft manufacturer has announced that the global fleet of its PC-12 single-engine turboprop has reached over ten million flight hours since the delivery of the first model. With a fleet of more than 1,900 PC-12s delivered worldwide, this significant milestone is a testament to the aircraft’s robustness, versatility, and reliability.
The PC-12 has been a market leader since its launch, appealing to a wide range of operations, including corporate flight departments, individual owner-operators, fractional and charter companies, air ambulance service providers, and special mission roles at local, state, and national levels. The aircraft’s large cabin, standard cargo door, docile handling characteristics, and low operating costs offer significant appeal to almost any type of operation.
