What Does a Pilatus PC-12 NGX Cost?
The PC-12 NGX lists at approximately $5.4m USD new (2024/25). UK buyers importing an N-reg example will typically pay £3.5m–£4.5m depending on specification, avionics fit and exchange rate at time of purchase. Lightly used examples can be found from around £2.8m.
The PC-12's strong residual values - typically retaining 70–80% of value over five years when well-maintained - make it a relatively safe asset for lenders and often results in more competitive financing terms than peer aircraft.
Finance Structures for the PC-12 NGX
UK buyers typically use hire purchase (HP) or finance lease to fund a PC-12 NGX. HP gives you legal ownership at the end of the term; finance lease keeps the aircraft off your balance sheet (useful for VAT and accounting purposes). Operating leases are less common for this price point but exist for AOC operators.
Where the aircraft will be used for charter, lenders may model income from the AOC as part of affordability - potentially increasing the LTV available.
N-Reg to G-Reg Conversion Finance
Many PC-12 NGX examples in the UK market are N-registered. If you are converting to G-reg, lenders will want confirmation that the CAA type acceptance process is underway. We work with lenders experienced in funding this transition, including bridging finance during the conversion period.
Currency risk is a factor for USD-priced aircraft. We can discuss hedging strategies and whether borrowing in USD or GBP is more appropriate for your situation.
