Questions, answered
Which aircraft fly this route?
The Pilatus PC-12 (8 seats, from $7,900) is the mountain workhorse; the Phenom 300 (7 seats, from $10,500) flies it faster and higher. Both operate Skardu's 3,600 m runway comfortably in season.
How does weather handling work?
Skardu is a visual-approach valley field. Your charter holds a same-day backup slot and, failing that, rolls to the next morning at no charge — or we convert to the helicopter routing when rotorcraft windows are open.
