Travelling by private jet is the most comfortable and secure way for senior executives to fly around the world, while private leisure flights mean family and friends can travel in comfort and privacy. The Pilatus PC-24 combines all the elements of a premium-choice charter plane – let’s take a closer look.
Private air travel in the Pilatus PC-24
Hiring a private jet is one of the most luxurious and flexible ways to travel. The Pilatus PC-24’s rich interior and performance over rugged terrain make it a supremely comfortable ride. It’s also an easy ‘in-and-out’ if you need to get to a smaller airfield fast or a remote destination.
There are a number of things to consider before renting a private jet. You can start by choosing an aircraft type. When deciding, take into consideration whether you’re travelling alone or with a larger team. Do you need access to smaller airports? What distance will you be covering? At Air Charter Service, our private jet travel and concierge experts are always available to offer you guidance and advice.
If you’re looking for a charter plane to take you ‘off-road’, the PC-24 has been engineered for outstanding short-field performance, even on unpaved runways, which gives you an almost unmatched level of mobility. In fact, the PC-24 is built with performance attributes that are worthy of any watchmaker, making it as versatile as a turboprop, as spacious as a medium-light jet and capable of delivering the performance of a light jet. In short – this Pilatus is unlike any other aircraft in the world. So unique, its manufacturer created a new business jet category: the Super Versatile Jet (SVJ) category.
The Pilatus PC-24 can access more than 21,000 airports
Slightly larger than its predecessor, the Pilatus PC-12, the PC-24 personal jet has an advanced wing design that enables it to operate from short and rough airstrips. With a take-off distance of just 820m and a landing distance of only 770m, this nimble jet can operate at more than 21,000 airports across the globe – more than twice the number of tarmac airports that similar-sized jets can access. This extraordinary performance is achieved by a large double-slopped flap system, which allows for a stall speed of only 150kph at the maximum landing weight.
Having access to smaller airstrips means your charter flight can land closer to your final destination, allowing you to avoid lengthy administrative procedures and transfer times at larger airports. And with a maximum cruise speed of 814km, reaching your destination in a hurry is a breeze.
Luxurious and versatile interior
Private flights on board the PC-24 are not only versatile and convenient, they also supremely comfortable with a cabin volume that gives private jets that cost twice as much a run for their money. The PC-24 cabin can be configured in several ways to suit your travel requirements – whether you need to conduct a presentation or business meeting on board or would like to enjoy a comfortable journey with family or friends. A movable aft partition allows travelers to choose between an enlarged passenger cabin or increased baggage compartment volume, so finding space for those golf bags will not be a problem.
An innovative interior design gives a choice of four configurations
- A six-seat executive configuration (including a sizable baggage area)
- A combi version using four executive seats
- A fully expanded cargo area
- An open version
When it comes to sheer luxury, the PC-24 leads again. The contemporary bespoke interior, furnished with the finest-quality materials, offers first-class accommodation for passengers and crew. Exquisite details such as soft leathers and rare hardwood cabinetry, raise the bar on elegance, while the continuous flat floor and exceptional headroom are designed for maximum comfort.

Lower noise, higher efficiency

This means the PC-24 can offer more operational flexibility and higher fuel efficiency.
