The Pilatus PC-24 is a light business jet produced by Pilatus Aircraft in Switzerland. Introduced in May 2013, this aircraft was developed as an improvement of the Pilatus PC-12 jet. It received EASA and FAA type certification on December 7, 2017, and costumer delivery began two months later. Pilatus bills the PC-24 as the "Super Versatile Jet" in recognition of its above average performance on short and unpaved runways, with a take-off balanced field length of 2,690 ft. Landing distance over a 50 ft. obstacle is 2,525 ft. It is also the only aircraft in its class with a pallet-sized cargo door as standard equipment. The cabin-accessible baggage compartment is heated and pressurized. The PC-24 cabin is longer, wider, and taller than the other aircraft in its class, yet the short take-off and landing performance matches that of an advanced turboprop. This gives it the capability of operation on both paved and unimproved surfaces, allowing it access to as many as 21,000 airports worldwide, while also being suitable for operations in remote locations. The Pilatus Advanced Cockpit Environment includes a Synthetic Vision System, Graphical Flight Planning, Traffic Collision Avoidance System and Localizer Performance with Vertical guidance capability, all as standard equipment. By October 2019, the Pilatus PC-24 fleet had logged over 14,000 flight hours. As of June 2020, 75 jets had been built, and more are being produced today. As of Q2 2025, the factory list price is $11,900,000.

- Is the Pilatus PC 24 a safe aircraft to charter?
- The Pilatus PC 24 is an FAA-certificated airframe.

Check the operator's profile for their specific certification and audit history.
