Beechcraft King Air 260 vs Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Embraer Phenom 100ev vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Beechcraft King Air 260 and 360 are twin‑turboprop aircraft in the same general category; both prioritize short/rough-field utility and cabin flexibility. Range is mid-to-long for turboprops, with the 360 typically offering somewhat more range than the 260. Passenger capacity is similar, commonly configured around 6–9 passengers. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a single‑engine turboprop known for strong range and excellent runway versatility; it often matches or exceeds the King Airs on range while typically carrying about 6–9 passengers in executive layouts. The Cessna Citation M2 and Embraer Phenom 100EV are very light jets. They are faster than the turboprops but generally offer shorter range than the PC‑12 and are comparable to, or somewhat less than, the longer‑range King Air variants depending on mission. Typical passenger capacity is about 4–7. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet with a larger-cabin, more “super‑light” feel and standout runway flexibility for a jet. It generally offers longer range than M2/Phenom 100EV and carries more, often about 6–10 passengers.
