Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Gulfstream G700

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop in the business/utility category, suited to short and medium missions with a long‑range emphasis for its class. It typically carries about 6 to 9 passengers and offers roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical miles of range depending on load and conditions. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑turboprop utility aircraft focused on rugged, short‑field operations rather than speed; it commonly seats about 9 to 14 passengers, with a typical range around 900–1,100 nautical miles. The Cessna Citation XLS+ is a midsize business jet, faster and higher‑flying than the turboprops, generally configured for about 7 to 9 passengers, with range around 1,800–2,100 nautical miles. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet, designed for intercontinental travel; it typically accommodates about 13 to 19 passengers (with higher maximums in some layouts) and delivers roughly 7,500 nautical miles of range.
