Environment

Sustainability is a real challenge in aviation, and we're working on it.

SCROLL

Environment

The PC-12 has the lowest carbon footprint per passenger of any business aircraft.

Its single-engine turboprop design burns two to three times less fuel than comparable jets — a major cut in CO2. It's the honest starting point for flying more responsibly, without pretending the challenge is already solved.

Less fuel burned than comparable jets — a major cut in CO2.

300%

Every Hans Jet flight hour is carbon offset at 300%, as standard.

SAF

Sustainable Aviation Fuel, as mandated by law, increasing yearly.

Efficiency by design

Less fuel, fewer emissions — built into the aircraft.

The PC-12's single-engine turboprop platform uses a fraction of the fuel of a comparable jet for the same journey. Efficiency isn't an add-on; it's the reason the aircraft exists in its class.

Reaching smaller, closer airfields also means shorter ground transfers at either end — cutting the emissions that don't show up on the flight log.

The road ahead

Offset today, synthetic fuel tomorrow.

Every flight hour is carbon offset at 300% as standard, and we fly on Sustainable Aviation Fuel as mandated by law — a share that increases each year.

Pilatus part-owns Synhelion, which produces synthetic fuel from only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen drawn from the air, using solar heat as the catalyst. It's where aviation fuel is heading, and the aircraft we fly is part of that path.

Sustainability

The PC-12's single-engine turboprop design burns two to three times less fuel than comparable jets — around 260 litres per hour versus roughly 2,000 for a comparable jet. That's up to one-eighth the fuel consumption for the same mission, which is why it has the lowest carbon footprint per passenger of any business aircraft in its class.

As standard, every Hans Jet flight hour is offset at three times its calculated carbon output — not one-for-one, but 300%. Members can also choose to offset their individual footprint for each flight on top of this. Offsetting isn't a complete answer to aviation's emissions, but combined with the aircraft's efficiency it meaningfully reduces net impact today.

Yes. We use Sustainable Aviation Fuel as mandated by law, with that percentage increasing annually. SAF reduces lifecycle carbon emissions compared with conventional jet fuel, and rising blend requirements mean each year's flying is cleaner than the last.

Pilatus part-owns Synhelion, a company producing synthetic fuel using only carbon, hydrogen and oxygen drawn from the air, with solar heat as the catalyst — widely seen as the future of aviation fuel. As that technology scales, aircraft like the PC-12 are positioned to fly on genuinely low-carbon fuel rather than relying on offsetting alone.
