Fractional aircraft provider PlaneSense is celebrating its 30th anniversary. The New Hampshire-based company is the largest operator of Pilatus Aircraft in the U.S., having accepted the 20th PC-12 built by the Swiss airframer in 1995. Since then, it has taken delivery of 93 of the turboprop singles, including the 2,000th PC-12 off the assembly line in 2023, and has 45 in operation.

To offer customers a larger cabin and increased range, PlaneSense launched a jet program a decade ago and took delivery of the very first PC-24 light jet in 2018. Today, its fleet includes 17 of the Swiss-built twinjets.
