Beechcraft King Air 360 vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Cessna Skycourier vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

In category, the Beechcraft King Air 360 is a pressurized twin‑turboprop business/utility aircraft, while the Beechcraft King Air Denali is a newer pressurized single‑engine turboprop positioned as a PC‑12 class competitor. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is also a pressurized single‑engine turboprop optimized for executive and mixed utility use. The Cessna Grand Caravan EX, Daher Kodiak 100 Series III, and Cessna SkyCourier are primarily utility/STOL (or near‑STOL) turboprops; Caravan and Kodiak are single‑engine, while SkyCourier is a twin aimed at cargo/commuter work. For range, the King Air 360 and PC‑12 NGX are typically at the top of this group (often around the 1,500–1,800 nm class depending on payload and reserves), with Denali projected in a similar long‑range bracket. The Caravan EX and Kodiak 100 generally sit mid‑pack (often roughly 900–1,200 nm), while SkyCourier is commonly in the shorter regional range class (often around 800–1,000 nm), mission‑dependent. For passenger capacity, Caravan EX, SkyCourier, and Kodiak commonly seat up to about 9 passengers in typical configurations (SkyCourier can be higher in commuter layouts), while PC‑12 and Denali are usually around 6–9, and King Air 360 often about 6–9 in executive layouts.
