WestAir First To Offer PC-24 for Charter in U.S.
The provider already has deep experience operating PC-12 turboprops.
Western Aircraft has added a Pilatus PC-24 to its WestAir division, which reportedly makes it the first company in the U.S. to offer the Swiss-built business jet for charter. “This aircraft has superior speed, range, and runway performance,” said Phil Winters, Western Aircraft's vice president of aircraft sales and charter management. “It is also the first business jet in the world that has a standard pallet-sized cargo door, making the loading of even the bulkiest of items, such as a kayak, easy.”
The Boise, Idaho–based FBO and MRO provider said the PC-24 is in WestAir’s aircraft management program. Western Aircraft noted WestAir’s experience operating Pilatus’s legacy and NG PC-12 turboprops, as well as its role as a Pilatus dealer and authorized service center.
WestAir has aircraft based in California, Idaho, and Washington, and provides service to more than 5,000 airports in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico.
