Features
There are about 10,650 airports in the world where you can reach an aircraft that can operate on a 3,130 feet (954 m) long runway. There’s an additional 880 airports available when your plane needs only 2,930 feet (893 m). Of course, in both cases, these runways would have to be paved.
Now, look at the number of runways worldwide that are at least 2,930 feet (893 m) long but include non-paved surfaces – such as grass or gravel. The number is close to 20,000. So with the PC-24, you’ll have access to almost 100% more airports worldwide.
