All seats are forward-facing and internal cargo space of more than 50 cubic feet remains accessible in flight
8 February 2021: The Pilatus 24 or the PC-24, world first and only super versatile jet continues to surprise its customers by proving to be an excellent fit for widest missions. The first PC-24 with a 10-seat configuration was recently delivered to a customer in western US. The best part is that each seat is installed with a quick-release mechanism allowing easy cabin reconfiguration for all transportation requirements.
Feeling proud of the delivery Ignaz Gretener, VP General Aviation of Pilatus said, “The PC-24 is the only aircraft in its category to offer this level of high-capacity interior for ten passengers. All seats are forward-facing and internal cargo space of more than 50 cubic feet (1.4 cubic metres) remains accessible in flight. We expect this configuration will prove very popular with both public and private operators requiring a cost-effective solution for frequent transportation of passengers as an alternative to sending them on the airlines.”
The PC-24’s payload capacity of 1,134 kilogrammes and standard large cargo door enable operators to load large, bulky items that no other business jet is capable of carrying with such flexibility. The cabin features a private lavatory which can be serviced from the exterior. Unlike many other light and midsize jets in this category, the lavatory seat is not used as a passenger seat: the loss of comfort for the passenger is simply too great.
Seat pitch in the commuter configuration varies from 34 (86) to 40 inches (102 centimetres). Each seat features a side storage compartment and cup holder as well as four 115-volt power outlets to enhance in-flight productivity. The PC-24’s entirely flat floor also adds to comfort on long trips.
Thus it is a safe, efficient, private, cost-effective corporate travel solution for company employees.
