Super light jets give Houston clients a genuine range step over a light jet while still working the shorter metro runways. The Pilatus PC-24 is a practical fit for a small Houston team traveling together.
Pilatus Aircraft introduced the Pilatus PC-24 in 2018. Cabins are typically fitted with a flat cabin floor and notably low cabin noise, though this varies by airframe and we confirm the specifics before quoting. Lavatory: standard is externally serviced.

Why the Pilatus PC-24 Fits Houston
For Houston trips that reach past the Permian into Colorado or the Midwest, it removes the fuel stop a light jet would need.
At 2,000 nautical miles published, and allowing for reserves, a Houston departure reaches Nassau, Los Cabos, and Las Vegas without a stop. Treat it as a planning figure. The operator confirms what the aircraft will do on your date and load.

- FAR Part 135 charter operators for traditional private aircraft, or FAR Part 121 for airliner-size and group trips (or the foreign equivalent on international legs)
- Operator subscription to Wyvern and ARGUS reviewed where the operator participates.
- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
