PC-12 PRO lands in Mexico
The unique capabilities of the PC-12 and the PC-24 are driving growing demand for both aircraft. The first delivery of the brand-new PC-12 PRO confirms the high degree of confidence in Pilatus' innovation.
A varied mission profile makes the PRO a good match for Mexico.

Single Air, the authorised Pilatus distributor for Mexico, has made the first delivery of a PC-12 PRO into the country. Featuring a completely new Garmin cockpit, innovative safety functions such as the safety autoland system and even greater comfort, the PC-12 PRO sets new standards in its class.

With this handover, the latest member of the PC-12 family makes its debut on the Mexican market: the PC-12 PRO is ideally suited to the varied mission profile and geographical requirements of a country like Mexico. Its versatility, from business and charter flights to government operations and deployment in challenging conditions on short, unpaved natural runways, makes it an attractive solution for operators nationwide.

Speaking at the handover, Adrian Zambrano, managing director of Single Air, comments: “In Mexico, the unique capabilities of the PC-12 and the PC-24 are driving growing demand for both aircraft. The first delivery of the brand-new PC-12 PRO confirms the high degree of customer confidence in Pilatus' innovative strength.”

With more than 2,200 PC-12s delivered worldwide and more than 11 million flight hours logged, the PC-12 PRO faithfully continues the tradition of innovation, versatility and reliability. The moniker of ‘Most Advanced Single’ is a testament to its efficiency, popularity and reputation as a powerful, reliable aircraft.

Adrian Zambrano further emphasises: “In a single-engine aircraft, the choice of powerplant is crucial for our customers. They want a tried-and-tested product, which only the PC-12 PRO can offer in this class of aircraft.”

With 60,000 engines in service and more than 400 million flight hours, the PT6 family of engines has an unparalleled safety record. Paired with the latest version of the proven Pratt & Whitney Canada PT6 engine and fully automatic Engine and Propeller Electronic Control System (EPECS), the PC-12 PRO offers a combination of efficiency, safety and technology.
