Platoon Aviation is now a well-established player in the European charter market. This successful company has just taken delivery of its tenth PC-24 Super Versatile Jet. Platoon’s PC-24 fleet offers maximum comfort and flexibility for up to eight passengers – ideal for business and leisure travel. Each aircraft features a distinctive geometric paint scheme which is highly recognizable at European airports. 

Deniz Weissenborn, Managing Director of Platoon Aviation commented: “We’re proud to further expand our fleet with this tenth PC-24 in response to high demand for flexible charter solutions. Our strategy of offering a PC-24 fleet with executive configuration is paying off. Our customers love the combination of spacious cabin and cargo area as well as the ability to land at small airfields closer to their final destination, significantly reducing the total trip time – something only the PC-24 can deliver.” 

André Zimmermann, Vice President Business Aviation at Pilatus, stated: “Platoon Aviation has traced an impressive success story since its foundation in 2021. Their success with the PC-24 shows how well our Super Versatile Jet is tailored to the requirements of the charter market.” 

Platoon operates a “floating fleet” system to ensure maximum efficiency and rapid operational readiness: instead of returning to a fixed base after each mission, the jets remain where they are until a new assignment becomes available. This minimizes positioning flights and ensures more efficient handling of customer requests. 

Over 300 PC-24s have been delivered since 2018, making the Pilatus Super Versatile Jet one of the best-selling business jets in its class.
