Modesto Jet Center, a Part 135 operator and the sole FBO at Modesto City-County airport Harry Sham Field in California, has added a Pilatus PC-24 Jet to its management operations. The light business jet will also be added to the company’s Part 135 charter operations.

Located in the heart of the California’s Central Valley, Modesto Jet is flight minutes away from the San Francisco Bay Area, making it an ideal option for Bay Area private charter travellers. The company’s growing charter fleet now includes two PC-24 light business jets, two Nextant 400 light jets, King Airs and PC-12s.

Built for operation and landing on shorter fields, the Pilatus PC-24 offers a large cabin with room for six executive seats plus an aft divan that converts into a full-size bed, as well as a completely flat floor.

“We continue to build a fleet of aircraft with the breadth and capabilities for a variety of missions,” says general manager Otto Wright. “Because our fleet is centrally located, we are able to service charter clients all over northern California and the Central Valley with a level of service that most operators can’t compete with.”
