Beechcraft King Air 360 Er vs Gulfstream G700 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo vs Pilatus Pc 24

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop positioned for efficient short‑to‑medium missions, typically carrying about 6–9 passengers, with range in the roughly 1,500–1,800 nautical mile class depending on configuration and reserves. The Piaggio Avanti EVO is also a turboprop, but optimized for higher cruise speeds and business comfort; it generally seats around 6–8 passengers and offers a similar medium‑range profile, commonly around 1,500–1,800 nautical miles. The Pilatus PC‑24 is a light jet aimed at versatility, including frequent operation into shorter or less‑developed runways; it typically carries about 6–10 passengers and has a longer reach than most turboprops, often around 2,000 nautical miles, varying with load and mission profile. The Gulfstream G700 sits at the opposite end of the spectrum as an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet, commonly arranged for roughly 13–19 passengers, with intercontinental capability around 7,000+ nautical miles, depending on conditions.
