Pilatus PC-12 Was Last Year’s Most Flown Business Aircraft in the USA

Issue: 11-2024

The Swiss-Made PC-12 was last year’s most frequently flown business aircraft in the USA. Specifically, 3,16,328 takeoffs by the “World’s Greatest Single” were recorded between August 2023 and July 2024, representing 8.8 percent of all departures. Once again, this singleengine turboprop impresses with its versatility, safety, reliability and efficiency.

Statistically, a good 70 of the world’s global fleet of over 2,000 PC-12s are in the air at any given time. In 2023 alone, Pilatus produced 101 PC-12s in the heart of Switzerland for delivery all over the world, including 48 for customers in the USA. The international PC-12 fleet has now completed well over ten million hours in the air and is used for a wide range of missions – including business travel, cargo transport, air ambulance and emergency services.
