    Tradewind gets first PC12-NGX

    Our First Pilatus PC-12NGX Has Arrived!

    Introducing the First of 20 New Pilatus PC-12 NGX Aircraft to Join the Fleet.

    We are thrilled to announce the arrival of the newest model of the Pilatus PC-12 aircraft. Featuring the latest avionics, improved performance and efficiency, larger windows and a modern interior designed by BMW, the Pilatus NGX includes eight seats in executive configuration with full recline, taller seat backs, and more seated headroom for an entirely new level of comfort.


    Tradewind has ordered 20 new Pilatus PC-12 NGX aircraft directly from the manufacturer and will receive 4-5 new aircraft per year. Each new Pilatus will feature complimentary in-flight Wi-Fi.
    As with all Pilatus PC-12 models, the new NGX is equipped to land on runways as short as 2,000 feet, making it possible to reach remote destinations you've never been in a business aircraft, while cutting down on travel time.
    The Pilatus PC-12 NGX will join the Northeast fleet for private service throughout the Northeast and beyond.
    Contact us today to discuss your travel needs.

    Unfortunately, the messages notes that "The Pilatus PC-12 NGX will join the Northeast fleet for private service throughout the Northeast and beyond." Does "beyond" include SBH?

    . . . eventually. However, 20 over 5 years.

    They look like a definite improvement over the current fleet.

    Simply beautiful. However since we always fly into Julianna I really do not care what the plane looks like for a 13 - 15 minute flight. On the other hand…I would not complain!
