Pilatus PC-24 — The Super Versatile Jet from Switzerland
The Pilatus PC-24 is unique: as the first business jet with genuine unpaved-runway capability, it combines the cabin width of a Midsize Jet with the flexibility of a turboprop. Made in Switzerland with Swiss precision, built for pilots who accept no compromises. The widest cabin of any Light Jet, a true rear cargo hold, and access to over 20,000 airports worldwide make the PC-24 an absolute exception in its class.
Ideal for destinations without a paved runway (e.g. Alpine airstrips, Saanen/Gstaad, Courchevel) or whenever maximum destination flexibility is required.

The PC-24 is the only business jet in the world that can land on unpaved runways while simultaneously offering the widest cabin in its class. This combination is unmatched — no other Light Jet combines these capabilities.
A Pilatus PC-24 charter starts from around €4,100 for short legs, typically €8,000–12,000 for Mediterranean destinations. The premium over other Light Jets is justified by its unique capabilities.
Yes — the PC-24 is certified for short-field operations and can use Altiport Courchevel (LFLJ, 537 m runway) — a capability that no other jet in this class can match.
Particularly suited for Alpine destinations such as Courchevel, Gstaad/Saanen, or Innsbruck, as well as remote locations in Southern Europe, Africa, or Canada with no long paved runway.
