Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna Citation Cj3 vs Cessna Citation Cj4 vs Cessna Citation M2 vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Embraer Phenom 300e vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx

The Beechcraft Denali, Daher TBM 960, and Pilatus PC-12 NGX are single‑engine turboprops, generally best for shorter-to-medium missions with excellent access to shorter or rougher runways. Among them, the PC‑12 NGX typically offers the most cabin and payload flexibility and commonly seats the most passengers (often 6–9), while the TBM 960 and Denali are usually configured around 4–6 passengers with a more “owner‑pilot” mission. In range, these turboprops commonly sit roughly in the 1,300–1,800 nm class depending on reserves and load, with the PC‑12 often competitive at the high end. The Cessna Citation M2 is an entry light jet, typically seating about 4–6 with the shortest range of the jets here (roughly ~1,000–1,300 nm). The Citation CJ3+ and CJ4 step up in cabin size and capability; both are commonly 6–9 seats, with CJ4 generally offering the longer range (often ~1,900–2,100 nm) versus CJ3+ (~1,800–2,000 nm). The Embraer Phenom 300E is a high‑performing light jet, typically 6–9 seats, with range broadly comparable to CJ4 (often ~1,900–2,000+ nm depending on configuration).
