About this aircraft
The Pilatus PC-12 is the single-engine turboprop that redefined utility and executive travel—huge cabin door, short-field manners, and Swiss build quality in one pressurized airframe.
It moves people and cargo into airports many jets cannot use, which is why baseline PC-12s underpin the NG and NGX generations that still dominate the segment. Flexible interiors shift between executive seating and utility loads without changing the mission DNA.
The default single-engine turboprop when access and cabin volume matter most.
