Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G800 1 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Beechcraft King Air 360 and 360ER are twin‑turboprop business aircraft in the light/utility category, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers depending on configuration. The 360 is optimized for versatile regional missions with roughly 1,500–1,800 nm class range, while the 360ER is the extended‑range variant (also used for special missions) with substantially more endurance, around the 2,000+ nm class and higher fuel capacity. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop in the high‑performance owner‑pilot category, usually seating 4–6 passengers with range around 1,400–1,700 nm. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a fast twin‑turboprop in the light business category, generally 6–7 passengers, with range roughly 1,500–1,800 nm. The Gulfstream G800 and Bombardier Global 8000 are ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jets, designed for intercontinental missions. Both typically accommodate about 12–19 passengers depending on layout, with ranges in the ~8,000 nm class, enabling nonstop city pairs that turboprops cannot approach.
