Pilatus originally envisioned the PC-12 turboprop single as an executive and utility aircraft, but the model has gained widespread popularity as a commuter airliner since its 1994 introduction. Of the 1,750 PC-12s delivered through mid-August, 94 are flying with 35 passenger airlines around the world, according to the Swiss OEM. The largest fleet PC-12 airline operators are Boutique Air, Tradewind Aviation, North Star Air, and Sino-Swiss United Aero Technologies.
