Beechcraft Kingair Denali vs Cessna Citation Xls vs Daher Kodiak 100 Series Iii vs Daher Tbm 960 vs Pilatus Pc 12 Ngx vs Piper M600 Sls

The Cessna Citation XLS+ is the only light jet in this group, typically carrying about 7–9 passengers with the longest practical range of the set (roughly ~2,000 nm class), making it best suited to faster, higher-altitude point-to-point missions. The Beechcraft King Air Denali and Daher TBM 960 are high-performance single/twin‑turboprop “business” aircraft: the Denali is aimed at 6–9 occupants with a mid‑to‑upper ~1,000‑plus nm range class, while the TBM 960 is usually operated with 4–6 passengers and offers long range for a single (often ~1,500+ nm). The Pilatus PC‑12 NGX is a utility‑business single turboprop with generous cabin volume, commonly 6–9 passengers and long range in the ~1,500+ nm class. The Piper M600 SLS is a smaller single turboprop, typically 4–6 passengers with shorter range than the TBM/PC‑12 (about ~1,000+ nm). The Daher Kodiak 100 Series III is the rugged STOL utility option, usually 8–10 seats but with shorter range (generally ~1,000 nm or less) optimized for unimproved strips over speed.
