Navair (Sydney Bankstown) has secured Australian Civil Aviation Safety Authority approval to operate a Pilatus PC-24 for charter. “Australia presents unique aviation challenges because of the distances involved and the number of regional and remote destinations people need to access. The PC-24 allows clients to travel more directly and efficiently while reaching locations that many traditional business jets cannot access,” said Rick Pegus, CEO of Navair. The charter-approved PC-24 is a 2026-built aircraft, VH-DMS (msn 614), delivered in May and based at Cessnock.

This is Navair's second PC-24, following the delivery of a 2024-built unit in early 2026 that is not available for charter. The company's in-house charter fleet further includes other types such as the Citation Mustang, Citation Jet 3, Phenom 100, Phenom 300, and King Air B200 Beech (twin turboprop).
