Pilatus PC-24

The Pilatus PC-24 entered service in 2018 as Pilatus of Switzerland's first business jet, following the success of the PC-12 turboprop. Pilatus calls it the Super Versatile Jet because it combines a midsize-class cabin, light-jet performance, and the short-field and unpaved-runway practicality of a turboprop. Powered by two Williams FJ44-4A engines and fitted with dual-wheel landing gear and a large cargo door, it can operate from runways and surfaces that most jets cannot, opening thousands of additional airports. It remains one of the most distinctive and capable aircraft in the light-jet class.

The Pilatus PC-24 has the largest cabin in the light-jet class, seating up to 9 in a flat-floor interior that rivals midsize jets for space. Its cabin can be reconfigured easily for passengers, cargo, or a mix of both, which is part of what makes it so versatile.

• At 25 feet, the cabin is longer than many midsize jets, with a flat floor and easily reconfigured seating for up to 9 passengers.
• Baggage is accessed through a large cargo door, unusual in this class, which makes loading bulky items, equipment, and gear straightforward.
• Leather seats, towel warmers, smartphone storage, a galley, and a fully enclosed lavatory are available, with in-flight entertainment and Wi-Fi on many aircraft.
• A Quiet Power Mode runs cabin systems with reduced engine noise on the ground. Confirm specific amenities at booking, as configurations vary.

Note: Baggage note for the Pilatus PC-24: The hold is accessed through a large cargo door that makes loading bulky items easy, a signature PC-24 feature. Confirm exact baggage volume and any oversized-item needs at booking, as cabin and cargo configurations vary.

The PC-24 occupies a unique position in private aviation. It is the only jet that combines a near-midsize cabin, light-jet performance, and the short-field and rough-field practicality of a turboprop. This versatility, not raw speed, is its defining strength and the main reason charter clients choose it.

• Short-field access: it needs only around 2,930 feet of runway for takeoff and less for landing, far less than comparable jets, opening smaller regional airports.
• Unpaved-runway capability: dual-wheel landing gear lets it operate from grass, gravel, and dirt strips, giving access to thousands of airports closed to other jets.
• Largest cabin in class: more cabin volume than competing light jets, with space approaching a midsize.
• Cargo flexibility: the large cargo door and reconfigurable cabin handle passengers, freight, or both, useful for unusual missions.

The PC-24 performs well on versatile regional and transcontinental routes within its 2,000nm range, especially where short or remote airports matter. These represent its most common charter missions.

Pilatus PC-24 charter rates run $2,800 to $3,800 per flight hour, the standard light-jet band and strong value for a jet with midsize cabin space. Total one-way trip pricing depends on route distance, positioning, and demand.

How much does it cost to charter a Pilatus PC-24?

Pilatus PC-24 charter rates run $2,800 to $3,800 per flight hour, the standard light-jet band. One-way trip pricing ranges from about $9,000 for short hops to $18,000 for long transcontinental legs. Pricing varies by route, positioning, and season.

Why is the PC-24 called the Super Versatile Jet?

Pilatus markets the PC-24 as the Super Versatile Jet because it combines a near-midsize cabin, light-jet performance, and the short-field and unpaved-runway practicality of a turboprop. No other jet pairs this much cabin space with the ability to operate from short and rough airfields.

Can the PC-24 really land on unpaved runways?

Yes. The PC-24 has dual-wheel landing gear and is certified for operations from grass, gravel, and dirt strips, in addition to short paved runways. This gives it access to thousands of airports that other business jets cannot use, a capability inherited from the PC-12 turboprop.

How many passengers can the PC-24 carry?

The PC-24 seats up to 9 passengers, with eight typical in a comfortable configuration. Its cabin is the largest in the light-jet class and can be reconfigured easily for passengers, cargo, or a combination of both.

What is the range of the PC-24?

The PC-24 has a range of 2,000 nautical miles (2,302 miles) at typical payload. This covers 3.5 hour legs and the near Caribbean routes nonstop. For the longest legs, a midsize or super-midsize jet is the better fit.

How is the PC-24 different from the PC-12?

The PC-12 is Pilatus's single-engine turboprop, while the PC-24 is its twin-engine jet. The PC-24 is faster and has a larger cabin, while keeping much of the PC-12's short-field and unpaved-runway versatility. The PC-24 suits faster, longer trips; the PC-12 is the lower-cost choice for shorter regional flights.

Is the PC-24 still available for charter?

Yes. The PC-24 has been in production since 2018 and is in active charter service worldwide, valued for its large cabin, short-field access, and versatility at a standard light-jet rate. Availability is growing as more enter the charter market.

Is Hogani Jets a direct air carrier?

No. Hogani Jets is an air charter broker and does not own or operate aircraft. All PC-24 charters are facilitated through licensed Part 135 direct air carriers, who maintain full operational control and regulatory compliance for every flight.
