Pilatus PC-24: The Swiss Watch of Private Jets

When it was unveiled in 2013, the Pilatus PC-24 made headlines for being the "Swiss watch of private jets". Since its introduction in 2018, the PC-24 has seemingly exceeded all expectations! Much like Pilatus's previous business jets, the Pilatus PC-24 has been wildly successful, selling hundreds of times in only a few years.

15 Smallest Private Jets in the World!

Since the first business jets, some manufacturers have tried to make the largest private jets, where others tried to make the smallest private jets. This got me thinking, which are the smallest? For the purposes of this article, I am only focusing on production private jets. These private jets are either currently in production, or have recently come out of production, with several on the secondary market. So these are the smallest private jets!

15 Best Private Jets in The World!

Since the introduction of the first private jets, some have been better than others. This begs the question, which are the best private jets on the market today? There are two main ways we can measure how good these private jets are: the amount built or the amount of hours flown by air charter companies each year. Just because it's one, doesn't always mean it's the other... (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); 15.
