Financing the Pilatus PC-12
The Pilatus PC-12 is the world's best-selling pressurised single-engine turboprop and the dominant choice for owner-pilots and charter operators in the UK. Its combination of range, payload and single-pilot certification makes it uniquely versatile - and its strong residual values make it a lender-friendly aircraft.
UK market prices typically range from £1.5m for an older PC-12/45 or PC-12/47 to £4.5m–£5m for a current-model PC-12/NGX. The sweet spot for most buyers is a 5–12 year old PC-12 NG or PC-12/47E at £2m–£3.5m.
