Index ≈ ×1.08 to ×1.34 on the aircraft value, already with ferry, ANAC nationalization, IPI and ICMS.
Market estimate: value + ferry + ANAC nationalization + taxes, no legal review. II, PIS and COFINS are 0% for aircraft (NCM 88.02); IPI is 6.5% (3.25% for air taxi) until Dec 31, 2026; ~4% ICMS only through a qualified importer (Agreement 75/91).
Operate = direct cost/hour (fuel + maintenance + engine); excludes fixed costs (hangar, crew, insurance). World: hourly rate published by charter operators. Brazil: charter is quoted per leg, so the hourly figure is an estimate from route quotes.

The PC-24 is Pilatus's first business jet, in production since 2017, and occupies the midsize range with an unusual proposition: a standard cargo door and certification for short and unpaved runways. It has 2,000 nm of range, a cruise speed of 440 kt, a ceiling of 45,000 ft and an MTOW of 8,300 kg, with 8 seats in the typical configuration and up to 10 in the maximum arrangement. In Brazil, the appeal lies in combining a jet cabin with access to airfields that would normally call for a turboprop, expanding the destinations served nonstop. The factory-equipped price of a new example is US$14.3 million (B&CA, Mar 2026).
How much runway the PC-24 needs to dispatch: the manual figure and what the charter (RBAC 135) rule requires.
Dispatches under charter rules at 297 of 465 Brazilian public runways when dry, and at 240 when wet.
Verdict per regime (private, charter dry and wet) across 465 Brazilian public runways, with the margin in meters.
Starter feature. Available on your Jet Tracker account.
Manufacturer-published distances at sea level, ISA and reference weight. Not corrected for altitude, temperature, wind or runway condition, takeoff included. Uses the declared LDA as a proxy for effective runway length (RBAC 135.361) and the most favourable threshold in calm air (135.385(b)(1)): on the day, wind may force the shorter threshold. Destination only: does not assess the alternate aerodrome (135.387). Not a substitute for the AFM or the operator's performance analysis. Rule: RBAC 135.385 and 135.398; private flying (RBAC 91) is not factored. Runways: declared distance (LDA) from AISWEB/DECEA (2026-09-05), checkable on each aerodrome chart; where DECEA publishes no declared distance, physical length from OurAirports is used.
Typical factory configuration (curated data). The drawing below is schematic and at approximate scale; the actual layout varies by interior and year.
Pilatus unveiled the PC-24 concept at EBACE 2013 and flew the first prototype in May 2015. FAA/EASA certification came in December 2017, and Pilatus sold all 84 slots of the first production batch in just two days after opening reservations, an unprecedented feat in business aviation.
Announced in 2013 (EBACE), first flight in May 2015 and EASA/FAA certification in December 2017. First delivery in February 2018.
The PC-24 is certified by EASA for operation on gravel, dirt and compacted grass runways, a capability inherited from the PC-12. Reinforced landing gear, anti-debris deflectors on the engines and anti-FOD protection allow missions to remote destinations such as farms, mining and African safaris where no other jet lands.
The large side door of 1.29m x 1.25m accepts standard cargo-aviation LD-2 pallets, and the modular interior allows a quick change between executive, cargo, medevac or combi (passengers + cargo) configuration. This is unique in the segment; competitors offer neither a cargo door nor a flexible layout.
The PC-24 is certified for single-pilot operation, with a Honeywell Primus Apex cockpit configured to reduce workload (autothrottle, SmartView SVT, IntuVue 3D radar). It appeals to qualified owner-pilots who previously operated the PC-12 turboprop and want to move up to a jet without losing simplicity.
Only civil business jet certified for operations on unpaved runways (gravel, dirt, grass), a heritage of the PC-12 turboprop.
Cargo door of 1.30m x 1.25m allows loading pallets, motorcycles and stretchers, unique in the category, enabling EMS/cargo use from the factory.
The internal height of 1.55m forces taller passengers to stoop when walking. Direct competitors such as the Citation XLS+ (1.73m) and Phenom 300E (1.49m but with a larger circulation area) offer a different perception of space. For long missions with executives, the PC-24 is less comfortable than more conventional midsizes.
Maximum speed of 440 KTAS (~M 0.74), below the Phenom 300E (M 0.80) and Citation CJ4 (M 0.77). Trade-off for the STOL design for short runways.
Australia's Royal Flying Doctor Service put the PC-24 into operation in a medevac configuration to serve the remote outback where no other jet can land, packed-dirt farm runways, rescue missions in rural areas. Pilatus even developed a specific medevac kit that can be installed/removed in hours. It is the use case that best demonstrates the Super Versatile concept.
Pilatus created its own commercial category (SVJ) to avoid direct comparison with conventional light jets, reflecting the focus on short/unpaved runways.

12 distinct operators operate 12 units of the Pilatus PC-24 in the RAB-ANAC: 1 in air taxi (RBAC 135) and 11 in private operation (RBAC 91), concentrated in SP, RS and PR (data as of 11/9/2026). Another 7 units are under registration reservation (tail number reserved, not yet operating). Not included in that count: 1 unit with no operating class in the RAB. Name, fleet and state of each operator are on this model's Analytics tab and in the operators directory.
Jet Tracker estimate: about US$ 4,864 per flight hour at 200 h/year, of which US$ 2,757 per hour is variable cost (fuel, engine program, maintenance reserves) plus US$ 421,400 per year of fixed cost (crew, hangar, insurance), under Jet Tracker's default assumptions (Southeast Brazil, in-house crew, 200 h/year).
