Why the Pilatus PC-12 Fits Orlando
With 1,803 nautical miles of published range, it can fly between Orlando Executive and destinations such as Charlotte, New York and Denver, allowing for reserves and routing. The airspace over Walt Disney World is restricted, so a Disney trip lands at an Orlando airport and finishes by car.
Smaller aircraft usually fly from Orlando Executive or Kissimmee Gateway, the closest jet airport to Walt Disney World and Celebration, and the operator confirms the airport at each end on your quote. Runway needs are calculated by the operator for that day’s conditions, and we confirm them with the operator ahead of the trip.
How Orlando Clients Use the Pilatus PC-12
Turboprops fly Orlando travelers into the smaller airports of Florida and the Southeast, with space for a small group and its luggage.

- Pilot experience and operator incident history reviewed before we recommend an aircraft.
- Fewer than 60 brokers worldwide hold Premium Wyvern Broker Member status, and Air Charter Advisors is one of them.
