ExecuJet will be the first business aviation company to operate and manage a Pilatus PC-24 Super Versatile Jet in Africa.
The aircraft will be based at Cape Town International Airport in South Africa and ExecuJet will be responsible for its day-to-day management and operations on behalf of the aircraft owner.
The PC-24 has been dubbed the ‘Super Versatile Jet’ due to its flexibility and ability to operate in and out of very short and unpaved runways.
The aircraft received EASA and FAA type certification on 7 December.
The PC-24 will also be available for charter and offers clients the latest in in-flight entertainment and connectivity.
With six passengers, departing Cape Town, the aircraft can reach Angola, Zambia, Malawi, and Mozambique.
Flying from ExecuJet’s FBO at Lanseria International Airport in Johannesburg, passengers can reach the DRC, Tanzania, Kenya and Mauritius, according to Pilatus.
