The Pilatus PC-12 is a new generation turboprop aircraft. It is recognised as one of the safest aircraft in the world, partly due to the reliability of the PT-6A engine. Nine passengers are able to take advantage of the comfortable and spacious interior whilst cruising at 30 000 feet. At this altitude the aircraft is able to avoid most of the significant weather conditions and low altitude turbulence. This aircraft is ideally suited for longer trips.
