PC-12 NG fixed and variable costs are quite low. New version is called NG (Next Generation) and differs from previous model in the following: new higher performance engine, new pressure and climate control systems and a set of avionics by Honewell that is similar to the ones used on private jets. All this puts flight safety level of PC-12 NG even higher.

It is possible to load even cargo on pallet using standard mechanical loader. Floor in baggage area is flat and that makes storage easier.
