The price depends on the route, the dates, the season and where the aircraft has to come from. A full charter costs more than an empty leg, because you pay for the flight back too.

The PC-12 is a pressurised single engine turboprop from Pilatus of Switzerland. It has a large cabin and a big rear cargo door. Charter companies, air ambulance operators and private owners fly it, and Pilatus delivered the 2,000th in May 2023.
Pilatus announced the PC-12 at the NBAA convention in October 1989. It first flew on 31 May 1991 and entered service in 1994. The Royal Flying Doctor Service of Australia was the launch customer, and it still flies the type to reach remote areas.
The PC-12 NG was announced in 2006 and the first was delivered in May 2008. It has a stronger PT6A-67P engine and Honeywell Primus Apex avionics. The NGX followed in October 2019. It has a PT6E-67XP engine with digital control, a quieter low speed propeller mode, and a 290 knot cruise. Its cabin windows are 10 percent larger and the seats are new. In March 2025 Pilatus announced a new version called the PRO.
About three quarters of PC-12 NG sales are executive layouts, and owner pilots account for 20 to 30 percent of sales. PlaneSense and Tradewind Aviation run large fleets, and governments and air forces fly it too.

cabin length
The cabin is 16.9 ft long, 4.8 ft high and up to 5 ft wide. A six seat executive layout is common, and commuter layouts seat up to nine passengers. A large aft cargo door means the cabin can also carry freight.
The cabin is pressurised. The baggage compartment holds 40 cubic feet. The NGX borrows larger windows and new seats from the Pilatus PC-24 jet.

AOPA compares it with the TBM 910 and 930, which it calls the personal hot rods of the single engine turboprop world, and describes the PC-12 as the roomy utility choice. Wikipedia says used PC-12s keep 80 to 85 percent of their price after ten years.
