Harbour Air is excited to announce the launch of its first land based aircraft. Tantalus Air is a new line of business for the Harbour Air Group and it will offer private charter flights in a Pilatus PC-12. The PC-12 is a single-engine turboprop aircraft with seating for up to eight passengers.
In addition to being a fast, comfortable and easily accessible aircraft, the PC-12 is able to take-off and land on relatively short airstrips, which allows for travel to more remote destinations not serviced by most charter companies or by commercial carriers. The aircraft can also land on gravel and turf airstrips further expanding its reach.
“Charter flights have always been a part of our business, however now with the Pilatus, we are able to offer a land based option at a cost comparable to that of our seaplanes, which is considerably less than that of a private jet,” says Greg McDougall, CEO of Harbour Air. “We hope that once people understand the time savings and versatility that this airplane introduces, for example, Kelowna in 40 minutes or taking off from a gravel strip runway; we’ll be able to expand the Harbour Air experience into new markets.”
The Pilatus PC-12 aircraft is Swiss manufactured and called a marvel in precision manufacturing. The PC-12 is the largest member of the Pilatus family, integrating a single turboprop engine into an aerodynamically advanced airframe, combining excellent economy, reliability, versatility and safety. Although widely used throughout North America, very few of these aircraft operate in the Pacific Northwest with the RCMP being the largest owner operator of them in Canada.
