Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and the upcoming Beechcraft King Air Denali sit in the pressurized twin‑turboprop (360ER) versus pressurized single‑turboprop (Denali) business/utility category. The 360ER is optimized for longer endurance and redundancy, offering roughly 1,500–1,800 nm range depending on payload and reserves, with typical seating around 6–9 passengers (up to about 11 in high‑density). Denali is aimed at efficient single‑engine business travel, targeting about 1,600 nm range and typically 6–8 passengers. The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is a rugged, high‑wing utility/STOL single turboprop, generally shorter‑range (about 1,000–1,200 nm) but capable of carrying up to 9 passengers in a commuter layout (often 6–8 in mixed‑mission). The Daher TBM 960 is a high‑performance pressurized single‑turboprop personal/business aircraft with the longest typical range here (about 1,700 nm) but fewer seats, commonly 4–6 passengers. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a versatile pressurized single‑turboprop with strong payload/cabin utility, about 1,600–1,800 nm range, and typically 6–9 passengers (up to 9).
