Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Cessna 208b Grand Caravan Ex vs Embraer Legacy 650 E vs Gulfstream G700
The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a pressurized twin‑turboprop in the light business/utility category, typically seating about 6–9 passengers, with a long turboprop range around 1,800–2,500 nautical miles depending on load and reserves. The Cessna 208B Grand Caravan EX is a single‑engine turboprop utility aircraft optimized for rugged, short-field operations; it usually carries about 9–14 passengers in commuter layouts, but its range is shorter, commonly around 900–1,200 nautical miles. The Embraer Legacy 650E is a large-cabin business jet, generally configured for about 13–14 passengers, and offers intercontinental capability in the roughly 3,900–4,000 nautical mile class. The Gulfstream G700 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin business jet at the top of this group, often configured for around 13–19 passengers, with significantly greater reach—about 7,000+ nautical miles—supporting nonstop city pairs that neither turboprop nor traditional large-cabin jets can match.
