Why Will Pilatus PC-24 Jets Cost So Much in 2025?

Pilatus Aircraft, a Swiss company known for its innovative planes, started out in the 1940s fixing Swiss Air Force jets. By the late 1950s, their first big hit was the PC-6 Porter, a short-takeoff aircraft. In the 1980s, they invented the PC-12, a turboprop that could land anywhere. Customers loved it but wanted something faster and further-reaching. Enter the PC-24, a light business jet that can land on almost anything.

Launched in 2007 and introduced in 2013, it's been a hit with charter companies, medevac services, and even governments. The PC-24 has a range of 2, 400 miles and can seat 10 people. It's got a huge cargo door and can land on sand, grass, or snow. In 2025, a new one will cost around $13-14 million. Used ones go for $8. 5 million. But owning one isn't cheap. Yearly fees can top $1. 5 million.
