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

The Swiss-Made PC-12 was last year’s most frequently flown business aircraft in the USA. Specifically, 3,16,328 take-offs by the “World’s Greatest Single” were recorded between August 2023 and July 2024, representing 8.8 per cent of all departures. Once again, this single-engine 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.
