Pilatus – Environmentally Friendly

The Pilatus PC-12 NGX stands out as one of the most environmentally friendly options for air travel worldwide.

We have chosen the Pilatus for good reason, and not just for it’s wide door, short runway and single engine for operating efficiency and access to the world airfields.  Our carbon statement, as an air ambulance provider has weight and impact, so we where keen to do the right thing in the choice of airplane for our air repatriation operations in and out of the UK.

Single turbine engine low fuel consumption.

Featuring a turbine engine renowned for its remarkably low fuel consumption, the Pilatus PC-12 boasts significantly reduced CO2 emissions compared to other aircraft used for business purposes. Specifically, the Pilatus PC-12 emits three times less CO2 than a light jet and an impressive seven times less than a long-range jet.

This exceptional environmental performance is made possible by its state-of-the-art digitally controlled turbo-prop engine, which not only minimises fuel usage but also reduces operational costs. Its advanced design and efficiency contribute to relatively low emissions per gallon of fuel burned, further underscoring its eco-friendliness

Travel is not just a means of getting from point A to point B; it’s an integral part of our identity and society. It serves both personal and economic needs, driving growth, fostering connections, and fuelling exploration. Whether it’s seizing opportunities, forging relationships, or expanding horizons, travel encompasses a myriad of experiences and perspectives.

A smaller world, with more impact on CO2.

Aviation, in particular, plays a significant role in shrinking the world, offering unparalleled speed and accessibility across vast distances. Despite its environmental impact, responsible flying is attainable with the right knowledge and practices.

Pilatus, with over 80 years of experience, exemplifies this commitment to sustainability, proving that aviation can lead the way in responsible practices for the benefit of both people and the planet.
