Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Bombardier Global 8000 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Gulfstream G800 1 vs Piaggio Avanti Evo

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a twin‑turboprop in the utility/short‑haul business category, typically flying roughly 1,500–2,000 nm with about 6–9 passengers depending on layout and reserves. The Daher TBM 960 is a single‑engine turboprop optimized for fast owner‑pilot travel, generally around 1,400–1,700 nm with 4–6 passengers in typical use (up to 6 seats). The Piaggio Avanti EVO is a high‑speed twin‑turboprop with a distinctive pusher design, usually about 1,500–1,800 nm and commonly 6–7 passengers (up to 8–9 in denser configurations). Moving to long‑range business jets, the Gulfstream G800 is an ultra‑long‑range large‑cabin jet aimed at intercontinental missions, advertised around 8,000 nm with a typical cabin of about 12–19 passengers. The Bombardier Global 8000 sits in the same ultra‑long‑range class, marketed around 8,000 nm with typical seating roughly 12–19 passengers, prioritizing very long legs and large‑cabin comfort over short‑field flexibility.
