A customer in the western US has taken delivery of the first PC-24 with high-utility 10-seat commuter configuration.
Pilatus now offers a commuter configuration for up to ten passengers – each seat is installed with a quick-release mechanism allowing easy cabin reconfiguration for all transportation requirements.
The cabin features a private lavatory which can be serviced from the exterior and whose lavatory seat is not used as a passenger seat.
Seat pitch in the commuter configuration varies from 34 (86) to 40 inches (102 cm). 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.
Ignaz Gretener, VP General Aviation of Pilatus commented: “All of us at Pilatus are pleased to hand over this new PC-24 in the 10-seat commuter configuration. 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.”
