FAQ

Turboprop charter — questions answered

What is a turboprop aircraft and when should I charter one?

A turboprop is a propeller aircraft driven by a jet turbine engine — more fuel-efficient than a jet and able to land on shorter, unpaved airstrips. Charter one when your destination has no jet-capable runway, such as hill stations or remote airstrips, or when you want the most cost-effective charter option for a shorter route.

Which destinations can only be reached by turboprop, not jet?

Hill stations and mountain airstrips like Shimla, Kullu-Manali, and Dharamsala, along with several smaller regional airports, have runways too short or unpaved for jets but well within turboprop range. Our King Air 350, Pilatus PC-12, and Cessna Grand Caravan are all short-airstrip capable.

How much does a turboprop charter cost in India?

Turboprop charters in India start from around ₹1,10,000-1,20,000 per flying hour depending on the aircraft and route — typically the most affordable charter option after helicopters. WhatsApp us your route for an exact quote.

How many passengers fit on a turboprop charter?

Capacity depends on the aircraft: the Cessna Grand Caravan seats up to 9, the King Air 350 seats up to 8, and the Pilatus PC-12 seats up to 6. Tell us your passenger count and we'll match the right aircraft.
