western ops have signed it off no more pc12's for them
Not quite....the decision has been made to go back to a mix of single and multi-engined aircraft.

Give a choice to any aviator which craft would you prefer to dominate....Kingair or PC12? Kingair will win everytime
I worked at a base that had a PC12 and a B200. The B200 spent long periods parked up at the back of the hangar. I'm not suggesting there is anything wrong with the Kingair, but when you include the life-port patient loading system, more fuel stops and a more time consuming pre-takeoff safety check routine, it was hardly suprising that the PC12 was the preferred option.
