PlaneSmart! Aviation, a fractional provider, is adding the Pilatus PC-12 NG to its fleet. The PC-12 turboprop offers business-class seating for up to 10 passengers and provides a step up from PlaneSmart’s current fleet of Cirrus piston airplanes. While the company mainly provides professional management for owner-pilots, it will also provide a contract pilot for those who prefer to go along for the ride. The popular and capable PC-12 can travel more than 1,500 miles nonstop at 322 mph.
