Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

By category, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Piaggio Avanti EVO are pressurized turboprops suited to short-to-medium missions and access to shorter or more remote runways, while the Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G700 are long-range, large-cabin business jets designed for intercontinental travel and higher cruise speeds. On range, the King Air 360ER is optimized for extended turboprop legs, typically around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles depending on payload and conditions. The Avanti EVO is generally in a similar but often slightly lower bracket, roughly around 1,300–1,700 nautical miles. The Falcon 8X is a true ultra-long-range jet at about 6,450 nautical miles, enabling city pairs like New York–Dubai in favorable conditions. The G700 sits at the top end of the group at roughly 7,500 nautical miles, targeting even longer nonstop missions. Passenger capacity follows the same pattern: King Air 360ER and Avanti EVO commonly seat about 6–9 passengers in typical executive layouts, whereas the Falcon 8X and G700 are usually configured for about 12–16+, with maximum-certified capacities higher.
