Tradewind Aviation Pilatus PC-12 NGX aircraft
With the addition of two more Pilatus PC-12 NGX aircraft, Tradewind Aviation now has 27 PC-12s in its fleet.

Private flight and shared charter provider Tradewind Aviation has added a pair of Pilatus PC-12 NGXs. The Oxford, Connecticut-based operator now has 27 PC-12s in service, which it says makes it the largest U.S. operator of the type for on-demand charter services. Fractional ownership group Plane Sense operates around 45 PC-12s.

Tradewind pilots flew the PC-12 NGXs in from Pilatus’ U.S. facility in Broomfield, Colorado, where they had some fine-tuning after being delivered from the manufacturer’s headquarters in Switzerland. The pair entered service based out of New York's Westchester County Airport. The operator is slated to take 15 more deliveries from Pilatus, and these are due to arrive at a rate of three or four each year over the next four years.
