Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX are utility turboprops, while the Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are long‑range large‑cabin business jets. In category terms, the Caravan EX is the most rugged and mission‑oriented (regional hauling, remote strips), the King Air 360ER is a higher‑performance twin‑turboprop for executive and special missions, and the Falcon 8X and G700 sit in the top tier of intercontinental private aviation. For range, the Caravan EX is shortest‑legged, suited to short regional sectors. The King Air 360ER goes notably farther for a turboprop and can handle longer regional legs, but it does not approach the true intercontinental capability of the jets. The Falcon 8X offers intercontinental reach, and the G700 generally provides the longest range of the group for nonstop long‑haul city pairs. For passenger capacity, the Caravan EX can carry the most in high‑density utility seating, the King Air 360ER typically carries fewer in a more premium cabin, and the Falcon 8X and G700 usually seat around a dozen to the mid‑teens in executive layouts, with the G700 often offering the roomiest cabin and highest typical VIP capacity.
