Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Caravan vs Dassault Falcon 8x vs Gulfstream G600 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft King Air 360ER and Pilatus PC-12 NGX sit in the pressurized turboprop category, suited to regional missions and shorter runways. The King Air 360ER generally offers longer legs for a turboprop (about 1,800–2,000 nm range) and typically carries around 6–9 passengers, while the PC-12 NGX is usually configured for about 6–9 passengers with a roughly 1,700–1,800 nm range. The Cessna Caravan is a single‑engine utility turboprop, often unpressurized, optimized for rugged, low-cost operations; it commonly carries about 9 passengers and has a shorter typical range (around 900–1,200 nm). The Dassault Falcon 8X and Gulfstream G600 are large-cabin long-range business jets. The Falcon 8X emphasizes very long reach (about 6,450 nm) with typical seating around 12–16. The G600 is a large-cabin ultra-long-range jet as well, usually around 6,600 nm with typical seating about 12–16, prioritizing high-speed intercontinental travel.
