Aviation company ExecuJet unveiled the first Pilatus PC-24 aircraft in Africa at a function hosted earlier this month at Lanseria International Airport, in Johannesburg.

ExecuJet is the first business aviation company in Africa to operate and manage a Pilatus Aircraft PC-24.

With the aircraft to be based at Cape Town International Airport, ExecuJet will be responsible for its day-to-day management and operations on behalf of the aircraft owner.

Developed by Swiss original-equipment manufacturer Pilatus, the PC-24 is flexible and has the ability to land on and take off from very short and unpaved runways.

The PC-24 will also be available for charter and offers clients the latest in in-flight entertainment and connectivity.

The PC-24’s interior has combined comfort and functionality, with each component having been carefully chosen to enhance the passenger experience. Components include soft leathers and hardwood cabinetry, which create a bespoke interior that reflects a meticulous design.

The generously sized cabin boasts a continuous flat floor, and allows for exceptional headroom for both passengers and crew.

Carrying six passengers departing from Cape Town, the aircraft will fly to Angola, Zambia, Malawi and Mozambique.

Passengers will also be able to fly to the Democratic Republic of Congo, Tanzania, Kenya and Mauritius from ExecuJet's fixed-base operator at Lanseria.

ExecuJet, meanwhile, looks forward to officially welcoming the aircraft to its fleet later this month.
