At Silverhawk Aviation, we’re always looking for ways to deliver more value to our fractional owners, and we’re excited to share that we’re exploring the addition of a new aircraft type to the Silverhawk Shares program: the Pilatus PC-12.
Why the PC-12?
The PC-12 is one of the most popular and versatile turboprop aircraft in the world, with over 2,000 delivered since it entered service. Built by Swiss manufacturer Pilatus Aircraft, the PC-12 has earned a reputation for exceptional reliability, impressive range, and remarkably low operating costs, a combination that makes it a natural fit for our Midwest-focused fractional ownership program.
For our owners who fly shorter and mid-range routes, the PC-12 offers a compelling option. Its single-engine turboprop design means significantly lower hourly operating costs compared to light jets, while still delivering the comfort, speed, and pressurized cabin experience you’d expect from a premium aircraft.
The Silverhawk Advantage
Just like our current offerings, a PC-12 Share would come with everything that makes Silverhawk Shares the best value in fractional aircraft ownership in the Midwest:
- A one-time investment that gives you guaranteed equity in the aircraft
- A simple monthly management fee covering crew, hangar, insurance, Wi-Fi, and more
- No blackout dates, no peak-day surcharges, no taxi-time charges
- Access to our full fleet with no interchange fees
- Free or reduced repositioning for Midwest-based travel
And of course, the same uncompromising commitment to safety that has earned Silverhawk a Gold Rating from ARG/US and membership in the Air Charter Safety Foundation.
Who Is the PC-12 Share For?
The PC-12 is ideal for owners who want the private aviation experience at a more accessible price point. If you’re currently flying 100+ hours per year on regional and mid-range routes, think Lincoln to Dallas, Omaha to Denver, Kansas City to Scottsdale, Des Moines to Nashville, the PC-12 could deliver significant savings over a light jet while sacrificing very little in terms of speed and comfort.
It’s also a great fit for owners who value access to smaller airports. The PC-12’s short-field performance means you can land closer to where you’re actually going, cutting down on ground transportation time and getting you to your destination faster.
We Want to Hear From You
We’re in the early stages of evaluating this addition to our fleet, and your input matters. If a Pilatus PC-12 Share sounds like something you’d be interested in, or if you have questions about how it would work alongside our existing aircraft options, we’d love to hear from you.
