Beechcraft King Air 360er vs Cessna Grand Caravan Ex vs Diamond Aircraft Da62 vs Embraer Praetor 600 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Tecnam P2006t vs Tecnam P2012

The Embraer Praetor 600 is the only true super‑midsize business jet in this group, offering the longest range (roughly 4,000 nm) and typically seating about 8–12 passengers depending on cabin layout. Among the turboprops, the Beechcraft King Air 360ER is a long‑range, pressurized twin suited to corporate missions, with range around 1,500–1,800 nm and usually 6–9 passengers. The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a pressurized single‑engine turboprop optimized for versatility and short/rough fields, typically 6–9 passengers, with range roughly 1,700–1,800 nm. The Cessna Grand Caravan EX is a utility single turboprop focused on payload and rugged operations rather than speed, generally carrying about 9–14 passengers with range around 800–1,000 nm. In piston twins, the Diamond DA62 is a modern, efficient light twin carrying about 5–7 with range near 1,000–1,200 nm, while the Tecnam P2006T is smaller and training/light transport oriented at about 2–4 with roughly 600–800 nm. The Tecnam P2012 is a commuter piston twin for short hops, typically 9–11 passengers with about 700–900 nm range.
