Global Single-Engine Turboprop Achieves Milestone in Business Aviation

Pilatus has announced that its global fleet of over 1,900 PC-12s has officially accumulated more than ten million flight hours since delivery of the first model. The milestone was reached thanks to the continued success of the aircraft, which has been popular among corporate flight departments, individual owner-operators, and fractional and charter companies. Pilatus’ CEO Markus Bucher attributes the PC-12’s appeal to its solid reliability, outstanding safety record, and fuel efficiency. The company plans to increase production to meet demand in 2023.
