Above and below PlaneSenses only operates Pilatus aircraft

PLANESENSE Sometimes, the tortoise beats the hare, and in those cases, they deserve a bit of the spotlight in an industry often fueled by PR-led headlines. In a time of turmoil, no fl ight provider has been steadier than fractional operator PlaneSense. The New Hampshire-based provider recently took delivery of the 2,000th Pilatus PC-12 turboprop, an honor from the Swiss OEM (original equipment manufacturer) to the largest operators of its aircraft worldwide (PlaneSense has fl own 80 of the types since its founding in 1995). Even today, PlaneSense only operates Pilatus aircraft, o ff ering just two types — the PC-12 and its PC-24 twin-engine jet. With Wheels Up retreating from large swaths of the Midwest and Paci fi c Northwest, PlaneSense, which ranks as the seventh-largest operator in the US (based on fractional and charter hours), now stands as the turboprop leader with a nationwide primary service area, o ff ering guaranteed rates and availability. By early 2024, its PC-24 could be national as well. planesense.com
