How many passengers can your aircraft carry?

Our Citation Excel and XLS jets seat 8 to 9 passengers, the King Air 350 seats up to 9, and the Pilatus PC-12 seats up to 8.

How much baggage can I bring?

It depends on the number of passengers and the length of the trip. Baggage space ranges from 40 cu ft on the Pilatus PC-12 to 80 cu ft on our Citation jets. Tell our charter team who's flying and where, and we'll confirm what fits.

What's the difference between your jets and turboprops?

Our Citation jets cruise at 489 mph with ranges up to 2,100 nautical miles, making them the fastest option for longer trips. Our turboprops, the King Air 350 and Pilatus PC-12, are well suited to shorter runways and bulky baggage, with wing lockers on the King Air and an extra-large cargo door on the PC-12. Flying to lake country or a small-town airport? See Regional Turboprop Charter.

Can you fly into smaller airports?

Yes. The King Air 350 and Pilatus PC-12 are known for short-field capability, which opens up many smaller regional airports. Our team will recommend the right aircraft for your destination.

Is Wi-Fi available on board?

Wi-Fi is available only on the Citation Excel Eagle and the Citation XLS Gen2.

Who flies NCA's aircraft?

Our own NCA pilots. North Central Aviation has held an FAA Part 135 certificate since 2012 and is ARGUS Gold rated.
